Description

As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com, “Financial expert Mellody Hobson wrote this children’s book to encourage financial literacy, but I bet, like me, many adults will learn fun facts about money—such as where the word greenbacks came from.” An instant New York Times bestseller! Mellody Hobson, barrier-breaking pioneer in the world of finance, demystifies money for kids with a look at some wild and weird facts about what makes the world go round. What is the meaning of all those symbols on US bills (and why are they so hard to counterfeit)? What’s with people calling money “bacon” or “cheddar” or “smackeroonies”? With savvy and wit, financial expert Mellody Hobson sheds a friendly light on a daunting subject, from the meteorites that created the first mineral deposits to the ancient Maya who used chocolate as currency to the beginnings of the banking system itself. Readers learn about bartering, profit and loss, the origins of credit, ATMs, and even fun facts about money around the world. In her first children’s book, Mellody Hobson brings excitement to the realm of financial literacy and gives kids the tools they need to navigate money now and in the future. Featuring energetic artwork by debut illustrator Caitlin Stevens, amusing skits starring a cat and bunny who converse in money idioms, and inserts depicting the author and her business partner as kids just learning how money works, Priceless Facts about Money is an inviting, entertaining, and richly educational resource for every child.

  • Financing Concepts Made Simple
This book is written in common sense terms. Children will be able to understand it and adults will be able to read or discuss the financial concepts with their children. It is a great primer to start the conversation of the importance of budgeting, saving and investing money.

  • Education About MONEY!
I enjoyed it as a trivia book...learned a lot but I don't see how a 6 year old is going to understand this without more explanation... and some adults don't even understand the basics. My critique is that the author should have done a little more "explanation" of what things are so that the kid understands more about how it works. It's a good book...but I bet there are some other good ones out there, too. ... show more
