Book - For Children - The Squirrel Manifesto by Ric & Jean Edelman

This book teaches kids---and their parents---the value of spending money, saving for the future, and giving to charity.  Financial habits form early.  Children learn by observing a parent's behavior and through their own experiences.  That's why it's important to make sure your children are treating money the right way.  From allowances and birthday money to cash they will one day earn baby-sitting or mowing lawns, "The Squirrel Manifesto" provides a platform to set your children on the path to a lifetime of fiscal responsibility.

Just as squireel gathers nuts to prepare for the winter---eating some now and storing some for later---kids can learn the value of money by spending some of their allowance now and saving the rest for later using animals as examples.

For Ages 4-8 years
