Book Reviews of Lawn Boy
Book Review: Good ideas, badly written
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this book because the story sounded really interesting, and it is. It's really poorly written though, which was disappointing. It could have been much betterBook Review: Great book for young boys
Summary: 5 Stars
My 10 year old son (who does not particularly like to read) loved this book. He read it in less than a week (it is only 88 pages), and would frequently talk about it - telling us what was going on in the story - the boy starts a lawn mowing business and one of his clients invests the money for him. We would get daily updates as to how much money the boy has now. It also sparked some discussion as to how savings, investing and 401Ks and other retirement accounts work. Not your normal dinner conversation with a 10 yr old. A great find for any boy that is into lawn mowers or entrepenurship!Book Review: Great book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Once again, Amazon was able to recommend a book that my son loved. I used to say that I had a son that didn't enjoy reading, but I feel like I can't say that anymore. He loved this story and kept reading parts out loud to the rest of the family. We all ended up reading and enjoying it. The main character is very easy to relate to and the author did an amazing job getting the reader to understand the character's problems and emotions. This book is a must read for all kids!!Book Review: Great!

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a hilarious story! I literally laughed out loud. I'm reading it to my fourth graders, and even though they don't understand all of the stock market lingo, they too are really enjoying the story. I'm hoping Mr. Paulsen writes a follow-up. I love this book!
