Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-24 00:00:00 Andrew Crilley Learning about money is something we all have to do. We can save it, spend it, care too much about it or too little about it. This book is as much about how to use money as it is how do parents help their kids find responsibility regarding money. Brother & Sister bear are pretty good at making money, but if you don't live next to woods and fields and all those good wild things in nature, it might be more difficult to make. Still, the nephew and niece know the fun of spending money. My nephew got all the funko pops of Huey, Louis and Dewey. He just bought Toad, the Mario Bros mushroom stuffed animal. He doesn't save it, he spends every dime when he gets it. The niece saves money more and she spends it on things she really enjoys. The nephew liked this book and he wants a way to get more money, or so he says. He's pretty carefree and he usually wants it given to him. He wants to try and find things to sell. Good luck in this area. He gave this 4 stars. The niece didn't think it was an exciting story really. She had it figured out from the start, but she does like Berenstain bears. The story was rather wordy for a Berenstain Bears story. She gave this 3 stars. She felt like she knows a lot about money.

First, it's bad that the cubs are spending their money. Then it's bad that they are counting it and holding on to it in a piggy bank and sugar bowl. But it's okay to hold onto it in the bank? Why do they look like misers if they are counting their money but not if they have bank account before they are 10 years of age? And in the end, is it bad or good for cubs to earn money, have an allowance and spend money or make money? The message isn't clear.
