2 Winners, Ends on Monday, April 12th @ 10pm EST!




I am excited to tell you about a wonderful Children's book that I recently had a chance to read. It is called "Three Cups" and it is based on a true story. It is written by Mark St. Germain and illustrated by April Willy.

The idea for this book comes from Tony Townsley, CPA. Here is what he has to say about "Three Cups".

As new parents, my wife and I wanted to find a way to teach our children about money, so we agreed on using a weekly allowance to accomplish this. We thought it equally important to teach our children good values as related to money (saving, spending and charity) to help them develop positive habits early on that would last them the rest of their lives. This was when we came up with the idea of using three cups. We've tried to teach our children that it is not how much money you have that is important, it's how you use it. The three cups we have given them have led us on many wonderful adventures together and have brought our family a lot of joy. We hope you will experience the same joy, excitement and success using three cups with your children... and will share the Three Cups story with others.

CLICK HERE to visit the Three Cups site and learn more about this great book. There is a video that you can view that will show you some of the pages in the book. You can also purchase the book for only $10 (plus tax)!

This book is wonderfully written and illustrated! The pictures are just beautiful. The book starts out introducing you to a young boy who is turning 5 years old. He is given a wonderful present from his parents that promises to take him on many adventures! The present is 3 cups from his parents cupboard. The book then goes on explaining that "One cup is for savings, one cup is for spending and one cup is for charity." You will then follow along with the young boy and his "adventures" of learning to save, spend and give his money to charity!



I would recommend this book to parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and anyone else that has young children in their life.
