In this podcast, Cory Widdowson introduces listeners to the book Rock, Brock and the Savings Shock<\/a> by Shelia Bair.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Introduction
\n<\/strong>Rock, Brock, and the Savings Shock<\/em> is a colorfully illustrated book that teaches children the benefits of saving money, and the implications for spending it irrationally. The reader can keep track of the money being saved by doubling, which is a stepping stone towards multiplication. Some benefits this book has for the classroom, are the charts in the back of the book which also track savings, as well as tips for children to save their money, to become “millionaires” like Rock and Brock do by the end of the story.<\/p>\n

Related Books
\n<\/strong>My Rows and Piles of Coins<\/a> by Tololwa Mollel
\n Allowance Magic: Turn Your Kids Into Money Wizards<\/a> by David McCurrach<\/p>\n

These books can both be used to reinforce the money strategies used by Brock, as well as learning how to keep from spending frivolously like Rock.<\/p>\n
