Three Cups

From the publisher:All parents want to teach their children good money habits from an early age. Many start by giving them an allowance. But it’s equally important to teach children a positive, generous attitude as they learn to use money responsibly.

This is a wonderful book. As an adult I have learned the adventure that comes from having giving, saving, and spending in my life. This book is agreat way to not only introduce to concept but have your child(ren) begin to practice it.

What I really liked about this book is that it didn’t say that spending was a bad thing, but rather that all three cups (give, save, spend) were all part of the adventure.

I have been wondering how to teach my students (I am a teacher) how to see the importance of giving money to help others (we already talk about saving and spending) and this is a great way for me to introduce it.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to teach a child about life and money and the adventure that can come when all three are in their lives.

Thank you, God for loving me by Max Lucado

From the publisher: Little Hermie and the baby bug garden friends teach little ones about God’s love for them.

God loves all of His creatures. Little Hermie explores all of the ways God loves him and his friends in this sweet board book with glitter on the cover.

I had my husband read through the book and then he asked me, "What did you like about it?" I told him that I liked how siimple and sweet the book was. It is for younger children, but I liked the simplicity of it. What I really liked about this book and the other one about Hermie that I reviewed was that I feel that this is teaching children to look at their lives and see how God loves them. God loves us in so many ways that we just take for granted. I like that Max Lucado took the view point of Hermie thanking God for loving him in all different kinds of ways.

I would definitely recommend this book.
