Of cabbages and financial advisors.

5 August 2017

Format: Paperback

Orson’s Lessons in Wealth is a children’s book that has a curious statement in the front matter of the book that I assume was meant to be ironic. Most probably it is aimed at the adults who may read the book with their younger companion(s) for it advises them not use the contents to in order to make a financial or investment decision! However, we also have to assume that the advice given to Orson about his “wealth” is sound advice - despite the curious statement.

The story is full of curious meetings between Orson and various characters, known to Captain Harrison, the other main character. The amusing moments are generally just that – amusing! – and the illustrations are simple and charming. I can see children of between the ages 8 and 11 joining in with the various songs and chuckling at the jokes and oddball people that Orson receives his financial advice from, though I am not so sure they will readily learn the lessons given. The author has to be commended for his efforts at attempting to teach the rather dry subject of finance to youngsters through this book. Without giving away too much of the plot I have to say that the experience of receiving information via cabbages batted through the air with a tennis racket is one that is surreal and weird enough to make any pupil remember it, whatever their age or experience! Maybe departments of education everywhere should start taking notes?

They'll laugh all the way to the bank

22 July 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

One usually doesn't find much amusement in a business/economics class, but the lessons that Orson learns about investment and financial management will have young readers laughing all the way to the bank. In fact, there aren't very many books on business targetted to the younger set at all. And the ones written for the older reader? Well, let's just say its not surprising that it's not a popular subject. Perhaps with a few more books like this, the future of business and economics will be in good hands! A must-read for your young ones. In face, make it prerequisite to getting next week's pocket money!

Fun and finance for kids

17 September 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

Orson’s Lessons in Wealth is a fun, surreal but solidly based educational story aimed at helping children to understand personal finance. Captain Harrison is a wealthy man who has lived by sensible rules regarding generating income and investing it wisely. There are some funny moments involving eggs and cabbages, and the illustrations blend in very well. Whether children learn these lessons is open to debate, but more power to the author for saying you’re never too young to learn the basics.
