Excerpt from Epic Life
After anxiously waiting for his mom to be done, Tatum finally got to ask her. . . .
“Instead of giving that lady OUR money, why don’t we get rid of that rusty old car and buy the new Turbo Sport 3000, like Mr. D over there?”
“He-he-he,” his mom giggled. She calmly replied, “Let me show you.”
After driving for what felt like infinity hours to Tatum, they arrived at . . . an apple orchard?!
The rusty old car stopped. Tatum asked, “What does a Turbo Sport 3000 have to do with apples?”
“He-he-he,” his mom giggled and said, “come with me, and I’ll explain everything.”

My thoughts on Epic Life
Epic Life by Jon Daugherty teaches a valuable lesson to young children. Through the use of metaphors, young Tatum learns why it’s better to save your money than buy every flashy thing that comes before your eye.
When he wants Mom to spend their money on a Turbo Sport 3000 car instead of putting it in their savings account, she takes him to an orchard to teach him the art of saving.
The trees are equated to money trees and he grasps the concept quickly.
The illustrations by Bonnie Lemaire are well-done and add great depth to the tale.
My only complaint is the redundancy of the phrase, “he-he-he.” I felt like it took away from the story, but perhaps if it is read out loud in different voices it would work better.
Overall, this is a fun book to start introducing financial concepts to young children.
4 of 5 Stars
