When it comes to teaching kids about money management, parents are looking to Jeanette Ramnarine and her book, “The 4 Little Pigs.”  A few months ago the Momtalk Team spoke with Jeanette about her book and how it came to be (you can Listen Here).  Since our chat the book has become a hit with kids and families across Canada and around the world and has received the Mom’s Choice Award, an honour for Jeanette and her family.   The book features a set of 4 piggy banks which are now available for purchase.  Kids can read about saving and do just what the kids in the book are doing.

You can keep up with 4 Little Pigs news by following Jeanette on her CPO blog.  Word on the street is that Jeanette is working on the second book in the series, this one dedicated to 6-10 year old!  Visit www.fourpiggies.com to find how where you can purchase the book and piggy banks.
