Paying the Bills

LoveReading4Kids Says

Young people might not have to pay for things like electricity, wi-fi and water right now, but they definitely will in the future and this book is a great way to get them ready for when that day comes.

From identifying the main bills we have to pay, to outlining the basics of the household budget; from explaining mortgage payments and rent to sharing tips on keeping the weekly food bills down, it’s practical, relatable and engaging with clear text and colour illustrations throughout. It even lays out the cost of a car, road tax, MOTs and insurance included.

The last topic is financial scams, with good advice on how to recognise when something isn’t right, while it concludes with a quiz and glossary to consolidate what readers have learned. A great book to teach one of the most valuable life skills.
