Dollars & sense is a well written guide containing the information kids should know about money, and how to
responsibly use it. Starting from bartering and others mediums of
exchange before currency, it goes all the way to how to manage your own
money, covering a great variety of concepts like economy, debt, loans,
credits, interest, profits, checking and savings accounts, credit cards,
investment, and many more.
I
found the text accessible, accompanied by many pictures, fact boxes,
and some graphics. I wish it were more colorful, since the white, black
and green presentation gives it a more "serious" appearance than it
seems to have been the main idea. But in the overall I liked the book
and would recommend it.
I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
