Review: Stolen Bottles
“Stolen Bottles” is a good book with a few valuable lessons in it along the way. The book is about a young boy named Anthony who uses his summer break to help out around his community and to also make himself some money. Anthony did this by starting his own bottle collecting business and even hiring other neighborhood kids to help him out. Most kids think they are too young to work but this book can help kids see that there are so many things that they can do now to make money on their own. I think this is a book that parents should get for any kid who might need some inspiration to start making their own money.
Stolen bottles actually inspired me to become an entrepreneur and start my own bottle collecting business, just like Anthony. My family and neighbors throw away bottles everyday so I figured why not use this as an opportunity to earn some extra money and start saving up toward some of my long term savings goals.
