helping kids learn about giving


If you have children it’s a given that at some point someone has to teach them about money. And if you don’t teach them the basics, and how it can be used responsibly, then the world is standing by to teach them otherwise.
                Art Rainer takes a fresh approach to an age-old problem: greed. Then he uses biblical principles to help your 1st through 4th graders understand about giving. (Saving and spending are covered in books 2 and 3 of this three-part series).  So welcome to The Great Lemonade Stand Standoff (B&H Kids, 2019) part 1 of “The Secret Slide Money Club” series.

                We meet 3 friends: Jake, Sophia, and Brody—awesome kids who make a bad money choice, and are on their way to becoming enslaved by their love of money. As they start down that slippery path, they are rescued by Agent G.B. and go on to learn about making good money choices. In the process they help a friend, and also help raise money for a local animal shelter. 
                They don’t realize that they’re under attack from someone who encourages bad choices, but as they learn more about how money should be used, they grow spiritually, and become financially wiser.
                Rainer’s kids must love their Dad’s story telling. This book is a whimsical adventure, with plenty of lessons about greed and charity.
                I received a copy of the book from the published in exchange for a review. The only requirement is that these by my thoughts about the book. There is no obligation to print a favorable review.
