Billy Wants It All: Money

Billy Growing Up, Book 7

De: James Minter

Narrado por: Lola-Rose Maxwell

For seven to nine year old boys and girls.

Children, usually driven by peer-pressure, want the latest toys, electronics, and clothes, but have little understanding of the value of money or where it comes from. This is essential knowledge for later years.

Billy wants a new skateboard and games controller, but doesn't understand why he can't have them bought for him. He doesn't pay anything towards other household costs, so why does he have to contribute to a toy? His mum and dad are presented with some large and unexpected household bills, but once Billy understands the challenges his parent's face, it makes him respect them more, and understand how much they work to invest in their family.

Does Billy get a new skateboard? Who pays for it? Will the family afford to go on holiday this year?

Billy Wants It All is the seventh title in the Billy Books series. Each book addresses a unique topic - bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians, and teachers deal with the issues that challenge preteen children; each topic is presented in a gentle way through storytelling. Setting the issues in a meaningful context helps children to understand the challenges, and to see things from a different perspective. The books act as icebreakers allowing for discussions of difficult subjects.

Buying this book today will help your child learn about the value of money and where it comes from.
