Hi. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want to start giving my 8 year old pocket money, but would like to get a book for him as well to explain the basics on saving, budgeting, banks, investing etc.
Thanks.

I don't know if any of Martin's books would be suitable? Might depend on reading age etc.

I'd go to the local library and see if they have any suggestions! There's several when I google but no idea what they're like.

Dave Ramsey & Rachel Cruze have one in Amazon - Smart Money, Smart Kids that I found helpful. It is, as usual, geared towards the American market but the principles are universal

I have a book that I use with Brownies, but it's packed away at the moment and I can't remember the title! I've tried Googling, but can't find it. This list came up though, and might help:
