However, we do think (with full modesty) that our books compete on quality with the ones listed below! They might not have been around as long, but your children will learn about saving, budgeting, investing, entrepreneurship and much more in a very fun and story driven way! But enough about us, onto the list!

This book is part of a larger series called Money Tales by Barry Gott and Sheila Bair. Money Tales is a fantastic series with plenty of fun stories to keep your kids entertained while learning about finance, but this one in particular is our favorite. Rock and Brock are twins with different money saving styles. One is a saver and one is a spender, but they earn the same amount of money! It’s a fun book that shows the power of saving, and earning interest, and gives a relatable lesson to us all!
