Full Text Reviews:

School Library Journal - 04/01/2012 Gr 4–7—Although these topics are critical to students' education, the matter-of-fact presentations do little to capture their interest. The writing is clear with just a few paragraphs per page. The layout is well organized with bright colors, captioned photographs, and additional facts in text boxes. Consumer Sense covers the basics of consumerism, including needs versus wants, consumer rights, and peer pressure. Currency discusses the history of currency, from the bartering system to present-day minting and printing of money. Managing Money is about earning and saving money, and how to spend wisely to create wealth. Money System includes information about the economy, banks, imports and exports, and investment funds. Managing Money has a quote from "Benjamin Franklin, former U. S. president"—a surprising error. Solid introductions, but don't expect students to engage with the material. - Copyright 2012 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.

Booklist - 06/01/2012 The four books in the Money Sense series take on the hot topics of personal and global finance in a reader-friendly way. The books provide basic information, define key terms, offer practical advice, and add apt quotations in a variety of features and sidebars. Managing Money deals with jobs, savings, investment, debt, spending and budgeting, and helpfully points out several common misconceptions, such as excessive concern with saving and confusion between responsibilities and paid tasks. The page layout is busy but engaging. Stock photos add color but not much else. Overall, these books offer a fun way for elementary readers to increase their financial literacy. - Copyright 2012 Booklist.
