The Financial Fairy Tales: The Magic Magpie

This little gem is just like an old fashioned Fairy Tale, only instead of scaring a lesson into children, this story is teaching kids about creating wealth, and the value of cooperation and friendship.

Daniel Britton's Financial Fairy Tale series contain very powerful messages for children about money, being ethical and learning prosperity thinking at an early age.

Imagine a world where kids know about responsible wealth creation, and learn the value of harnessing the power of working cooperatively.

The Financial Fairy Tales, Dreams Can Come True, was Daniel's earlier children's book, and is a finalist in the USA Book News "Best Book Awards" 2010, demonstrating the value of his work, teaching kids about money.

Using stories as a tool to educate, has long been a very powerful technique, and Daniel does it so well.

The Magic Magpie book is illustrated beautifully by Mirona Jova, brightly colored and kind of old fashioned, as fits a fairy story.

I love stories with a lesson, and this one is a great one.

Definitely add this to your library, fantastic learning at a time when there is so much financial uncertainty.

It covers all bases, and makes it easy to spend quality time with your kids, knowing they are learning valuable skills that will be with them for life.

ClickN KIDS Teaching KIDS to READ and SPELL One Click at a Time

Click N Kids would have to be one of my subscribers most popular programs, and from what they say, it is mostly because the kids have fun while they are learning. In fact they don't even realize they are learning! Click N kids are using the Looney Tune Characters now in their phonics program, which of course kids just love.
