Wesley Learns to Invest is a great book to help kids understand that although it is okay to spend money you have to learn ways to make your money grow. When Wesley wanted to buy a new video game his dad didn't just give him some money. His dad taught him ways he could earn more money to buy his own things. I think this story teaches kids a valuable lesson that they can use as they grow older. I would recommend this book to any kid that would like to start learning ways to make extra money to start saving for the future.
About the book
For the first time ever a fiction book offers a kid friendly introduction to the stock market and investing. Young Wesley is about to turn eleven years old, and he really wants a new GS4 gaming system. But money doesn’t grow on trees, so Wesley will have to work hard and save his money to be able to make that purchase. Wesley’s dad helps him out by teaching him the importance of investing and how stocks work. Wesley Learns to Invest follows Wesley and his dad as they walk through a financial journey—from discovering what the stock market is, to choosing the right stocks, making a purchase, and receiving a dividend check. With his dad’s advice, Wesley is able to set goals and work toward them. Offering a gentle introduction to stocks and long-term goals, Wesley Learns to Invest offers a fun and engaging way for adults to demonstrate to children the value of making smart decisions and spending money in a way that will yield the best benefit rather than simply seeking instant gratification.
