Kids and money and…books? Blog authors at The Simple Dollar website posted “Five Children’s Books That Teach Useful Money Tactics.”
Teaching kids to love books and to be wise with money are two of the greatest gifts we can give them. Blog authors at www.thesimpledollar.com have lots of great ideas to help teach your children about money.
The five books they suggest are
•“Lemonade in Winter” by Emily Jenkins and G. Brian Karas
•“Bunny Money” by Rosemary Wells
•“Joseph Had a Little Overcoat” by Simms Tabeck
•“Annie’s Adventures” by Lauren Baratz-Logsted
•“The Lemonade War” by Jacqueline Davies.
Our library and other member libraries in our cooperative hold copies of these titles, which gently introduce ideas like entrepreneurship, budgeting, and frugality. The purpose of these books is not to pass on financial wisdom, but the lessons are tucked into good stories!
Dave Ramsey, author and financial guru, is also a good source. He has written books for children and adults which are intentional about passing financial fitness and peace. Many are available in our library and cooperative.
