My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fizzy and her family are interested in getting a new family pet. In order to do so, Fizzy's mom tells them that they need to come up with a budget to find out if they can afford a pet in their family. It's through this process that the kids learn all about making a budget and then how they can best apply the budget to fit their needs.

This is a great book for kids and adults alike! It would be a great book for a family to read and discuss together.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great book for kids of all ages, but especially for those who are starting to become a bit more independent. Fizzy wants to go see her favorite person in concert but she doesn't quite have the money to go. With some help from her mom, she finds a way to come up with the funds to be able to attend the concert and learns some valuable lessons in the process.

There are great lessons in this story about money management and the value of working for things you want. There is some financial math, as well as a vocabulary page for different terms.

Overall, an excellent book that I highly recommend!
