Suitable for girls and boys aged 7 to 9

Parents take care of their children's financial needs until they leave education, but from then on a child needs to be independent financially. It's therefore crucial that children understand money and how to manage it. In this story there is a lot going on in Billy's life at school and at home-all of which have a financial costs. The school is looking to introduce tablet computers, and wants parents to make a donation, and there is a new football team being set up requiring new kit and boots. At home Billy's granddad is facing a medical operation, and he's coming to convalesce with Billy's family. Jacko, Billy's dog has as accident, as has Billy's father. So extra household bills, plus vet bills, and a new car, all have to be paid for. Billy wants a new skateboard but finds out he cannot have everything all the same time without earning, and saving, his own money.

Billy Wants It All is the seventh title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book addresses a unique topic--bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians and teachers deal with the issues that challenge pre-teen children; each topic is presented in a gentle way through storytelling. Setting the issues in a meaningful context helps children to understand the challenges, and to see things from a different perspective. The books act as icebreakers allowing for discussions of difficult subjects. Additionally, each title is supported by a free activity book to reinforce the learning, while having fun.
Buying this book today will assist your child in appreciating the value of money, where money comes from and why they cannot have everything they ask for.


Contributor Bio(s): Minter, James: - "I am a dad of two grown children, and a stepfather to three more. I started writing five years ago with books designed to appeal to the inner child in adults - very English humour. My daughter Louise, reminded me of the bedtime stories I told her, and suggested I write them down for others to enjoy. I haven't yet, but instead I have written this eight-book series for 8 to 11-year-old boys and girls. Each one is a traditional story dealing with negative behaviours, but with positive outcomes. Although the main characters, Billy and his friends, are made up, Billy's dog, Jacko, is based on our much-loved family pet, which, with our second dog Malibu, caused havoc and mayhem to the delight of my children and consternation of me. Prior to writing, I was a college lecturer, and later worked in the computer industry, at a time before smartphones and tablets, when computers were powered by steam, and stood as high as a bus."
