Rosen/PowerKids Pr. Apr. 2010. PLB $21.25. Gr 2-4 These titles explain terms that readers may have heard at home, such as mortgage, credit-card debt, and welfare, in chapter spreads such as Who Pays for It? ( Healthcare ), Needs and Wants ( Debt ), and Dealing at School ( Welfare ). How could this happen? explanations and a glossary provide further clarification. The author suggests that readers make sacrifices, pitch in, or think up fun activities the family can do for free. Full-page color photographs appear opposite the narratives, depicting multicultural children, parents, grandparents, social workers, and others, whose demeanors match the hopeful tone of the titles. This timely series will help promote empathy and understanding for the plight of others and is a key purchase.

In this time of nation-wide belt-tightening, a book on cutting costs is a must-have addition to library shelves. Cutting costs does not have to be a bad thing and it doesnt mean cutting out every desire. Readers learn about prioritizing needs over wants and ways to be cost-conscious and frugal. They also learn that sacrificing some material desires can free an individual from the cycle of consumption, which allows us to enjoy other things such as family time and free, fun activities.
