Using Dr. Seuss’s “The Sneetches” to Teach Kids About Money
How “The Sneetches” makes spending, saving, and peer pressure easier to explain.
We love to read to our kids and teach them to read. (Admittedly, my wife does a much better job of it than I do, she’s great actually). There are several go-to books that I love to read them.
Dr. Seuss’ “Oh The Places You’ll Go” is actually the first book I read to my son. I like to think I am tough, but my eyes watered reading it to him.
Another Dr. Seuss book I love is “The Sneetches”. I don’t remember this book from when I was a kid, but it sure means something to me now. The last few times I’ve read it to my kids, I realized what a powerful book it is.
This Seuss tale offers parents and educators a unique avenue to introduce children to important financial concepts.
In this post, I’ll share my thoughts on how Dr. Seuss’ “The Sneetches” can be a tool to teach your kids about money.
