Junior’s Adventures {Giveaway}
December 23, 2009 by Christine - From Dates to Diapers
Filed under Christmas, books, giveaway, money management
Junior’s Adventures Books, by Dave Ramsey, are so much fun and all of my kids enjoy them, especially Josh. Just the other day I found him all snuggled up on the couch, with one book in his hands and the rest of the set scattered around him… so cute! Even my younger two love to browse through and look at the colorful pictures.
My older three, however, have learned a few valuable lessons from Junior’s Adventures; lessons they have actually begun to put in to practice. Lessons about saving money, giving to others, and budgeting – all told in story form, on a level they understand fully.
The complete set of Junior’s Adventures contains the following books ::
· The Super Red Racer (Work)
· Careless at the Carnival (Spending)
· The Big Birthday Surprise (Giving)
· My Fantastic Fieldtrip (Saving)
· A Special Thank You (Integrity)
· Battle of the Chores (Debt)

Benefited giveaway
I think that The Super Red Racer book would fit us best. My daughter is young, so now is the time for her to learn about the value of work!
I’d like the A Special Thank You (Integrity) for my nephew as he is starting to learn having to be responsible for his actions and words.
I think my little one would like A Special Thank You.
I like the Big Birthday Surprise. My daughters birthday was yesterday and I think this would be a great book for her to read and learn from.
It would be good for my little guy to read the story on spending…
We are focusing on giving, so The Big Birthday Surprise would be great.
I think I’d like “A Special Thank You” most right now. It’s so hard for kids to always make good choices with all the evil that is tempting them daily. I think this would be a great tool for instilling good values.
the super red racer about work and teaching to my kids
Saving! Trying to teach my son about the things he could save for rather than just spending money as soon as he gets it! He is a reader so he loves to buy books. We go to the library on a regular basis and told him he could read all the books he wants for free there and save his money for something he might want in the future. He likes the idea of one day being able to buy his own netbook. I never had the willpower to save when I was younger wish I would have had these books then!
The one about giving would be perfect, since that’s what we’re focusing on right now. Thanks for the opportunity! Merry Christmas!!
I’d really love to win these books for my daughter. We have been having conversations about money, charity etc. She seems to have a hard time recently with giving to charity so I think she could really benefit from The Big Birthday Surprise (Giving)
Battle of the Chores for my son. He’s more of a delegator.
probably careless at the carnival, nobody i know seems knows the word budget, never mind what it means – for example my bro & sis (who live together) made my parents pay for plowing snow off their driveway yet funny how they could afford to go see Avatar then out to dinner that night… disgraceful, have they no conscience?
My two older kids are pretty good about budgeting. My third child is a disaster. He spends it as fast as he can make it. So I could see Saving(My Fantastic Field Trip) as a lesson that he could benefit from. I think we got one of these books with a Chik Fil A meal once.
A special thank you. My little guy is 2 so learning his please and thank yous so perfect. Other lessons coming soon.

I think The Super Red Racer (Work) would be the best for my daughter right now. She has a difficult time understanding that she needs to do a little work around here too. I would love to win these because she is a little reader and would curl up with them. I know she would enjoy reading them.
Super Red Racer would be great for my little guys
My little one is just 2 , so no issues yet. But this looks like a great resource for the future!
We get so many gifts from family for my daughter, I think The Big Birthday Surprise would be good to have.

Careless at the Carnival (Spending) would be perfect for my granddaughter. She could learn more about spending in a language she would understand.
The Big Birthday Surprise to teach my daughter the joys of giving.
I would like Careless at the Carnival-Thank you
The Big Birthday Surprise for my son because everyone is always overdoing the toy gifts and idea of gifts and emphasizing materialism, and I hate it.
battle of the chores mverno@roadrunner.com
A Special Thank You (Integrity) its something personal but this one hits home
“A Special Thank You”; they have a hard time with Appeciations!
The The Super Red Racer would be great for teaching my little one to work. I think it is very important that children learn the value of work early.
I’d like “The Big Birthday Surprise” because my little boy has a hard time giving and sharing things with others. He thinks everything is his!

A Special Thank You would show my kids that finders is not always keepers.
A Special Thankyou! He doesn’t say thank you yet….but I know that it is not because he isn’t thankful….it’s just because he can’t say the words yet!
Thanks for the chance!
I didn’t know these books existed but I think the battle of the chores would be good for my daughters! They dont get the concept of debt and paying it back at all and I would like them to gain a better understanding of it.
I am intrigued by the Super Red Racer one about work – It looks like it would be appropriate for both of my boys! It would be really great to have all of them!
My Fantastic Fieldtrip would be perfect for my niece, she still doesn’t understand the concept of saving money!
My grandson could use My Fantastic Fieldtrip. He has an interesting concept when it comes to money
Battle of the Chores.. sounds like a must read for everyone in the family!
My Fantastic Fieldtrip (Saving) would apply to my daughter, she has a rough time saving!
Thanks!
I think my little one would like A Special Thank You.

My favorite is The big Birthday Surprise (Giving). I would chose that one as a favorite for my son because soemtimes I need to empahasize the importance of giving to others. It is a great lesson to teach especially during the Holidays. i am interested in these books becuase they offer some valuable lessons and I enjoy reading with my kids daily.

The Big Birthday Suprise would be good for my little guy because he is having a hard time sharing with others.
Out of all of them, Spending would probably be the most appropriate for my son. I think it is extremely important that kids learn the value of money early on.
Careless at the Carnival (Spending) would be appropriate for my niece. She needs to learn a little about spending so much.
the lesson on spending would benefit us most here

these would be great for my school kids.
Hmmmm… tough choice since I think all of these ideas are so very important to teach at a young age. I’m thinking the Careless at the Carnival book. My 5 year old thinks I should buy him a toy every time I go to the store right now. Of course I don’t, but he tries anyway. I’d love to share these books with him and my 4 year old cousin that I babysit on a regular basis. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome set!!
My Fantastic Fieldtrip would be the best for my son. He needs to learn to save money instead of spending it as soon as he gets it. Thanks!
Careless at the Carnival to teach my nephew not to spend all his money at once.
Careless at the Carnival because my daughter tends to spend money if she has it.
The Big Birthday Surprise would be helpful for Holt who does not always want to share or give. Thank you
My Fantastic Fieldtrip would be the best for my little guy. When he gets money, he wants to head straight to the store.

The Big Birthday Surprise would be a great one so my little guy learns how to share.
I think they are all really good lessons; but right now I think the lesson on giving would be great.
Thanks!
I THINK MY SON WOULD LOVE THE The Big Birthday Surprise (Giving)i am always talking to him about giving and sharing
