In this upbeat primer on money, insightful vignettes involving four kids offer thought-provoking lessons in earning, investing, and spending. Dian starts a weekend business playing piano at childrens' parties; Adam holds a garage sale so he can invest in baseball cards; little Elizabeth helps her mom with gardening; and TJ recruits a buddy to run his lemonade stand. While the premises sound simple enough, each child encounters an imaginative hitch along the way, inviting plenty of discussion and words of wisdom. Other helpful bits include a glance at how and where U.S. bills and coins are made, materials other cultures use for money, and an unbiased discussion of how kids use their money (consequences included). Banking, checking, credit card explanations--illustrated via cartoon computer graphics--might whiz right by the 5- to 8-year-olds, and some of the song-and-dance routines might lose the 9- to 12-year-olds, but the payoff in knowledge gained will easily outweigh any temporary losses of attention. The tape runs about 27 minutes. --Liane Thomas

Great way to introduce children to financial concepts such as spending, saving, investing, and starting a business. It is fun, easy to watch, and the kids view it repeatedly.
