Striker Jones: Elementary Economics for Elementary Detectives Overview
Striker Jones doesn't know he's an economic wizard, but, boy, is he! He doesn't need a magnifying glass or fingerprint kit to solve the crime-- and neither will your kids!
You won't find one bit of economic jargon in this book, but it is actually jam-packed with economic lessons for kids ages 7-10. In it are hidden concepts like supply and demand, incentives, and trade-offs, all of which help form the basis for a lifetime of sound decision-making. Striker will sneak in these lessons with your kids--you'll be surprised how much they learn without knowing it!
Also, for teachers and homeschooling parents, check out the Teacher's Companion! Each chapter comes with a ready-made lesson plan to pull out the economic concepts explicitly with your kids.
Reviews
"'Striker Jones' is a thoughtful delve into economics and short fiction, a top pick for younger readers."
- Midwest Book Review Bookwatch, November 2011
"Striker Jones is an excellent text for older elementary students beginning to grasp more and more complicated economic concepts. Through its easy flowing narrative with lots of conversational dialogue, children will learn to see that economics affect their daily life far more than they realized!"
- Rutgers University Project on Economics and Children
"There is no more important subject for young people to be exposed to right now than elementary economics. Larche has produced a well written primer that illustrates the economic fundamentals clearly, succinctly and with a cool factor that young readers will love… Think young Sherlock Holmes meets Milton Friedman!"
- James Larriviere, Ph.D., Professor of Economics at Spring Hill College
"A great way to introduce those economic principles to kids in a fun way. The book shows real insight into kids - so much more fun than a dry textbook!... a wonderful, educational book."
- Laurie Cockerell, Author of Founders' Fables
