5.0 out of 5 stars Go-To Money Resource....for adults.

I love this book and will always recommend it, even to adults. It's a short read, only taking me about 2 hours from start to finish, but I learned so much. Even as a financial literacy advocate, I learned so much about the origin of the stock market, different types of investment vehicles, and more. This book breaks down investing and how to grow your money. They don't use complex jargon, like many other books in its jargon. I highly recommend this book if you're interested in learning more about investing!

This is one of the two books that is a required reading book for our children. The school systems seem to lack an education on money and finance, so we found this book. It is a simple read...even our 10 year old was able to read it and understand the concepts. With the knowledge from this book, our kids have all gotten into the stock market and learned how to manage money and have their money, earn money.

I bought this book for my 12 year old to help him gain a basic understanding of investments. I came up with a reward for when he finished reading it but in retrospect I doubt I really had to. Once he started reading it he was hooked. This book was engaging enough to keep his attention all the way to the end. There are several quizes along the way too which is nice. He could take them and then which ever ones he missed I could explain those to him.

Written in an easy to understand format that this book should be mandatory for middle schoolers. Read it to my 5 & 4 yr olds and I guarantee they now know more about investing and saving than your typical person on the street.

I got this for my kids to learn about money. They easily understood the concept of savings account but were very curious about stocks and bonds. It encouraged them to add up all their coins and dollars and start saving. I liked to watch them getting so inspired to do house chores to earn money to invest. Really great book for 10-13 year olds. Talks about how to make money and also how to protect yourself from scams.
I highly recommend this book.

I purchased this guide for my 10 year old cousin and my two under 11 great nephews. Naturally, I leafed through it first. THEN I read it. And while this is a wonderful guide for kids about investing, I bought one for me--This is really an excellent basic beginner's guide for anyone who doesn't know that much about the stock market, kids or not. I must say, though,that I think my three gifts are going to be enjoyed.

El libro está en inglés, así que tus hijos deberán tener cierto nivel para seguirlo. Hay algunas cosas que específicas de USA (aparte de que siempre se menciona al dólar y ni a otra moneda), pero en general todo es válido.

Lo suyo es leerlo junto con los críos o, en su defecto, que vayan ellos leyendo un capítulo y que luego pregunten lo que no hayan entendido, haciéndoles a su vez algunas preguntas de control.

Mientras que no haya nada parecido en castellano, es una buena opción.
