(3) 4-6 The "Allowance All-Star Squad," a group of 166 children who served as the book's fiscal consultants, offers practical advice on what kind of allowance, if any, kids should expect; whether the money should be linked to household chores, and how to create a workable allowance plan with one's parents. The breezy text and cartoonlike illustrations make the book a nonintimidating introduction to topics such as budgeting, saving, and spending. Bib.
