Synopsis:

Explains different types of investing--savings accounts, bonds, stocks, and mutual funds--and provides information to help make decisions on each kind of investment.

From School Library Journal: Grade 4-8-A clear explanation of the theory behind investing and compound interest. Related terms are introduced and defined throughout the volume and anecdotes citing companies familiar to children (e.g., Kellogg's, IBM, Coca-Cola) often illustrate principles. One chapter is devoted to deciphering a financial page in a newspaper. Sample forms illustrate how to record income, withdrawals, and savings, and quizzes measure knowledge and risk tolerance. Black-and-white cartoons and several charts accompany the text. This useful how-to book is the next step for readers of Neale S. Godfrey's Ultimate Kid's Money Book (S & S, 1998) and Betsy Maestro's The Story of Money (Clarion, 1993). Librarians and teachers will want to recommend it to budding entrepreneurs and children who spend money as fast as they earn it.
