Financial education is not just lacking at school, it is completely absent at school and even in the adult world.
Inflation, pensions, tax, investments, savings and so on affect our everyday life, but we only start learning about these when we step into the real world and sometimes in a hard way. How many of us wish we had learned these when we were younger?
If there is an opportunity for your children to know these concepts at an early age, where do you start? Even if we hear this terminology in the news all the time, many of us don't understand it in great details, let alone try to explain it to the children.
- This book is especially written for parents, grandparents and teachers who want to provide an early financial education to the children.
- The book uses fictional animal characters and an adventure story to explain the following topics in detail. Credit cards, savings and interest, tax, exchange rates, mortgages, pensions, insurance, supply and demand, inflation, patents, shares, property, bonds, assets and liabilities, the compounding effect and the moral issues.
- Each chapter forms a story on its own to explain the concepts in a simple way to the children.
Storytelling makes the concepts easier to understand and makes the reading fun. This is not a textbook and there are no boring definitions. Mr Horse and Credit Cards, Mrs Beaver and Mortgages, what are these all about? To find out more, please join McFluffy the panda and Smelly the guinea pig on their epic financial adventure.
