Description
Slow and steady wins the race—an intro to personal finance and investing for kids ages 8 to 12
Feet thumping and arms swinging, Thrifty Tortoise and Ritzy Rabbit set off on a race to the finish line. At the end awaits a brand-new bike! Follow this competition to see who can earn, save, and invest their way to the ultimate prize. Lots of money decisions will be made along the way—some good and some bad—but you’ll get to learn from them all!
Geared for kids ages 8 to 12, On Your Mark, Get Set, INVEST provides seven engaging chapters to simplify the essential concepts of personal finance and money management…many of which are not taught in schools. You will find answers to questions like:
- Where does money come from, what do I need it for, and where do I store it?
- Why will I be better off later if I spend less and save more now?
- How does creating a budget help me reach my money goals?
- What is the stock market, and how is compounding a kid’s most awesome superpower?
With over a dozen interactive worksheets, fun illustrations, and kid-friendly examples, this book will get you closer to the finish line with every turn of the page.

Angie k, Educator
This book is divided into chapters with a variety of themes related to using money wisely, such as earning and saving money. In each chapter are exercises and activities to help support development and understanding of the concepts and skills discussed. There is quite a bit of text on a page and I could see this book being used with support from an adult. The content is pretty thorough and the pictures support in demonstrating ideas. As a grade 3 teacher, I would recommend this book to parents and teachers of children in the age 7-11 range. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this book!
