Review:

WHAT IS MONEY? is smart and in-depth. In a simple way kids can learn what it takes to earn money and then what to do with it. Boritzer covers capitalism nicely while seriously addressing financial altruism, the missing element in most children s books on money. This book is useful, original and helpful. --Alexandra Saba Montesi, PhD, Professor, Global Enterprise and Management, School of Business Management and Accounting, Woodbury University, Burbank CA

WHAT IS MONEY is informative, educational and rewarding. It gives children a foundation to build on regarding the principals of money. The illustrations made the subject matter fun and easy to read. I would highly recommend your book to children of all ages. WHAT IS MONEY teaches children the value of responsibility from earning money. They will have a more concise understanding just how important it is to take pride and ownership of accomplishment obtained through earning and saving money. It also teaches children the importance of goal setting and that giving is as important as getting. --Prof. Nyalla Schwartz, Director of Education, Financial Freedom International, Orem UT

A great tool for opening dialogue about money and real values which parents want to instill in their children. Author Boritzer distills the complexities of a monumental subject down to its essence in a manner that is both provoking and educational. --Brigitte Benchimol, Books Editor, YOGI Times
