by 26 Comments


Did you file your taxes yet? Do you discuss the process with your kids? What about a checking account for your teens? Do they even know what one is!

With tax season in full swing (ugh!) and Financial Literacy Month right around the corner (April!), now is a great time to chat with your kids about money and sharpen their financial literacy. This Spring, National Geographic Kids Books is debuting Not-So-Common Cent$ — the ultimate book of all things money (written by Sarah Wassner Flynn, ages 8-12, 160 pgs, paperback) and an excellent resource to helps kids learn about earning and budgeting money, using a bank account and understanding the history of money, why we use it and how it works.

This book gives young readers a broad look at everything from cash to coins, credit cards to crypto currency and so much more.  Find out how money is made, how banks began, why the cost of certain things changes over time and varies around the world, the very cool ways some people have earned big bucks, and how others share their savings to help people in need.  Most important?  This book gets kids thinking about how to save smart, spend wisely and even how to start making their own money.   Featuring a kid friendly layout, engaging and practical information and “Chameleonaire” — a top hat wearing chameleon that pops up throughout the book with cool facts and helpful tips — Not-So-Common Cent$ is designed to entertain while the words educate.
 
From kids looking to start filling their piggy banks to aspiring entrepreneurs, Not-So-Common Cent$ is packed with important facts about money that kids can’t afford to miss, including:
  • The basics of saving (including some brilliant hacks), investing, and interest
  • What “credit” really means

    My daughter really enjoys NatGeo books. We have a lot but none on finances. I want her to be financially literate to understand how to best handle herself now and in the future.
