Book Review: The New Totally Awesome Business Book for Kids
The New Totally Awesome Business Book for Kids, Revised and Updated Third Edition by Arthur and Rose Bochner
This book is an easy-read that touches upon the basics of business plus 20 ways to make some money. Although the 20 ideas include the obvious, such as babysitting, the lemonade stand and raking leaves, it does offer some creative ways to save money around the house. The Bochners are a young brother-sister team, aided by their mom, Adriane G. Berg, who clearly wants the same that many of us parents want for our kids – financial savvy and a solid understanding of money-making principals. What I liked best about this book was the concept of auditing the family’s spending habits and sharing in the savings. Kids do tend to think money grows on trees. Realizing that electricity actually costs money and someone actually has to earn the money to pay for dinners out are always great things for kids to learn.
If you are looking to start an internet based business, then this isn’t the book for you.
