Great ideas! Consider tax preparation too... April 21, 2008
Tracy Foote (New York City)
What a great series to help kids explore their specific passion. Not just for individual homes, but this entire series would be a great set for any school or library. On career day or days where Daddy or Mommy come talk to the class about their profession, these books could be used to expand children's exploration. How about assigning each child an area of interest? Fourth and Fifth graders could do class presentations on a specific career field and dress up in the style of the particular profession.
Of course, these books can also be used for teens and young adults. Kids who like math will learn there are numerous job opportunities relating to math.
While numerous mathematical careers are mentioned, tax preparation is not. I am sure there are numerous other professions left out as math and money is an extensive area. However, since taxes are an essential part of any career path, I think this book, the Math and Money version of the series, should have included a mention of tax preparation. It can be a wonderful part time or full time job for anyone with a passion for both math and money.
This book and others in the series will help children identify exactly what their interests are and the many types of professions that one can choose to be successful in life. After all, the first step to being successful is choosing to do something you love.
