When Times Are Tough Reviews


  • Heidie

    Considering today's economic circumstances, this book couldn't have been released at a better time. It helps parents explain to their children why things aren't like they used to be. They may not be able to go on vacation anymore and buy new toys, but at least they have each other. Times are tough, but we will get through them.

    I love how this book looks positively at how to deal with times when there's not as much money at home and the interesting and fun things we can do instead of what we're used to doing. Great lessons for kids that don't feel like lessons.
