5Critical Information! Awesome Delivery  Jul 16, 2008
By Hezues R'
This type of information is extremely important, especially since they don't teach you about it in School, I was never educated about credits cards and how to manage my finances, its something you have to learn on your own, and sometimes learn the hard way. I messed up my credit at a very young age and it took me years to make it better, not only that, but you are denied so many opportunities, i.e. being able to buy a car or house, if you don't have good credit. Then you also have to pay higher rates for everything. Candi goes into much more than just credit and this book is so important because it teaches young kids the value of money, when all they perceive is the glamour of money in media and entertainment. Be disciplined about dollars and it will pay off. The way in which she presents the information makes it engaging and exciting for young kids to learn. This is a must read for EVERY person's child and is guaranteed to improve your quality of life from the basic financial principles you learn. I wish I read this as a kid, I would have gotten to where I am today, ten years earlier! I bought 2 copies for my nieces.

5A Great Tool for Kids and Parents.  Aug 07, 2008
By Ronald Hartridge
As parent coordinator of P.S. 153 in the Bronx, N.Y., I am very impressed with this book. I was pleased to have an opportunity to meet Ms. Sparks at my school earlier this summer. I recommend to other coordinator's citywide to tap into this resource! I look foward to Ms Sparks revisiting my school in the fall to present this material to my students, parents and staff. This subject matter is vital in all of our communities! This is a author who wants to partner with our kids and our schools.

5Max Motivated My Students!!!  Jul 14, 2008
By Dana Y. Reed Spooner "First Grade Teacher"
As a First grade teacher the concept of money is rather difficult for my students to grasp, however reading the book "Can I Have Some Money?" by Candi Sparks was a great motivational tool for my students. Many of my children can relate to the experiences of Max, the main character in the story. The book expands on the basic concept of money by introducing the importance of saving, credit and budgeting; skills which I am sure will be an assest to my students even this early in their lives. I placed the book in my classroom library and it is very popular during the Independent Reading periods. "Can I Have Some Money?" by Candi Sparks has taken a rather difficult concept and help make it fun for my students and myself. Keep up the good work and I look forward reading your next book.

5THE BOOKS SUPER  Jun 18, 2008
By Prince Davis
This is truly a great book, it give a child the chance to show his or her independence, by earning their own cash by doing extra tasks around the house, and open thier young minds to other ways to make extra money so that they are able to purchase things they want, it also shows that giving to charities and putting money away for a rainy day is important, this book makes me think of the way i spend money...lol, i highly recommend this book for children and adults of all ages.....Great Book Mrs. Sparks!!!
