This book was totally fun and funny to read. It helped me realize that I know a little more than I thought about some things but gave me a lot of insight on things I didn't know much about. The first half felt more like a parenting book that gives ideas on how to start having the conversation about money and business with your kids. The second half of the book dealt with the basics of investing and then goes into numbers and emotions behind buying stocks. It finishes with stories about companies we've all head of like Amazon, Facebook, Chipotle, and Southwest Airlines. It has a good beat and it's easy to dance to - I give it a ten.

Great primer on investing

Lots of simple but good explanations of big finance concepts. I will look forward to teaching my kids about investing using this book and hopefully set them on a path of early financial independence.

Enjoyed, could have used a bit more info on the P/E info chart, such as what is considered a good price/multiple and what is considered over-inflated, but otherwise i really enjoyed the book. Gave me a good basis on the fundamentals and I really like the stock-buying contest idea for my kids.

Good book

Good book but a bit outdated. It is definitely not what expected. The last few chapters were to long and feel that they lost the plot.
