4I like money!  Sep 09, 2008
Reviewed by Madeline (age 7) and Sophia (age 5.5) McElroy for Reader Views (9/08

Madeline: This is a helpful book for young kids to learn about money. They can learn how to save some, spend some and give some to charity. My favorite part of the book was when Max talked about a lemonade stand. I want to have a lemonade stand and a snack stand at our next neighborhood garage sale. I also got some ideas about how to earn extra money around the house. It made me think about other ways to get money, like selling toys or books that we don't use anymore. I liked the whole book; it was fun to read and the drawings are good too.

Sophia: My favorite part of the book is when they play money games at school. "Can I Have Some Money?" by Candi Sparks is a good book that tells about money. I like money! This book made me want to shop! But first you have to get money by selling stuff or doing chores. I would like to have a fruit punch stand. Max is funny. The pictures are good too.

5future CEO  Aug 07, 2008
Arming our children with financial knowledge at a young age is the best gift we can give them. This book is a wonderful tool in guidng parents in that direction. Our Children are the future CEO'S of many corporations. Raising awareness of how to handle money responsibly will put them on the path to a secure and successful future.

5A Great Tool for Kids and Parents.  Aug 07, 2008
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.

5Critical Information! Awesome Delivery  Jul 16, 2008
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.
