Junior's Adventures:the Boxed Set

My three year old (then 2 year old) has been asking for this set since last Christmas 2019. We first borrowed 4 books from this set from the library. Though there are a lot of details my 2 year old couldn't follow and isn't interested in that I summarize for her in a sentence. But the main lesson still carries through, and surprising, this year after returning the books from the library over a year ago, she AGAIN asked for this set this Christmas 2020. So we got it for her. This is three days past Christmas. And we have already gone through the set twice. That shows you how much she enjoys this book.Not only for her, for me, as a first time mom, the book explains concept that also allow me to expand on the topics for her in our daily activities. She doesn't even understand real concept of money, can barely count to 20 without skipping numbers. But she knows her envelopes, she knows to give, to save and to spend. She knows she has chores, and the book either confirms what we do at home, or lets her look forward to certain events in the future. Overall, I recommend it highly.

I ordered a lot of money books to help my Kindergarten class understand money. Junior's Adventures were by far the favorites. The kids ask for them to be read again. The book on overspending was a great favorite and written in a way the children could anticipate the sad outcome of spending money on something that didn't really bring pleasure. The book on work was also very good. I highly recommend this series for helping teach your children responsible money concepts.

Great books on money for kids. My seven year old loves reading about Junior's Adventures and picks up the concepts they're trying to teach. While I'm not 100% in agreement with all their points, it provides a good platform for conversation.

These books are an excellent introduction to the ideas of saving, planning how you use your money, charity and honesty. Perfect for first through third graders to read on their own, but you can read it to younger children and they'll understand both the story and the lessons conveyed.

I purchased this set hoping to help my children learn about managing money and making smart choices. The books really deliver both of these things and they are entertaining. My four year old son and six year old daughter both enjoy them and will pick them out as the book they want me to read to them. They have also given me ideas on how to handle allowance with my children.

In the first 30 minutes opening the box the dry eraser marker didn’t work, came unglued from board as well as the clip. Was a waste of $47 for DR kit. Highly recommend the newer version.

I read these to my second grade students as we learned financial literacy in social studies.They loved the stories and related to the characters. I would recommend these books to every teacher and parent!

I bought this set of books along with Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace Jr. kit. To be honest, we haven't used the kit, but we've read each of these books at least 10 times. Why? The stories are funny and engaging. My kids (5, 7, 9--but we've had the books for over a year) all love the Junior stories. There are some great lessons in each book and we now have a new family saying "The best place to go when you need money is to work!" (aka Mom, can you think up some extra chores for me to do?)Can't say enough good about these books. Stories are so fun that even I don't mind rereading them over and over again. :)

I am an investor (stocks, mutual funds and real estate) and I would like my kids to be the same. I teach them personal finance concepts but of course since they're still young (2, 4 & 7yrs)I'm sure that these concepts will not sink in to their young minds yet. When I saw this boxed set, I knew that this will be a great starting point for them to get interested in personal finance.We started with The Super Red Racer: Junior Discover Work and it was a hit with the 4 & 7yrs! The stories are quite long so I paraphrased it a little for our bedtime reading.Titles:The Super Red Racer: Junior Discovers WorkThe Big Birthday Surprise: Junior Discovers GivingMy Fantastic Fieldtrip: Junior Discovers SavingCareless at the Carnival: Junior Discovers SpendingA Special Thank You: Junior Discovers IntegrityBattle of the Chores: Junior Discovers DebtEvery families should have this!

Wonderful books, great lessons. Bright and beautiful illustrations. Very happy with this purchase. Very useful in teaching my children about money.
