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.

  • Fantastic book for anyone
Format: Hardcover
I gave this book to my great granddaughter who read it and started using the negotiation technique on her father. He didn’t understand why she was very helpful around the house and told him her extra actions should be worth more money. I read the book before I gave it to her so I recognized what she was doing. When I told him about the chapter which included negotiations he understood. The book explains how our money works and how credit works and the difference between wants and needs Excellent for people of all ages My great granddaughter is 8 ... show more
