Book Review for: Wise T. Owl's Story Of Money
Grand-daughter loved it!
My little 6 yr old loved T. Owl's Book - Story of Money, her favourite page is where the king is in the pink bath with his coins!
She thinks that is just hysterical!
Cannot wait to get the other books in the series, the children will have fun while learning and talking about new things!

Good Introductions to Personal Responsibility
Thank you for the copies of the first three books in the Wise T. Owl series. I thought they were good introductions to personal responsibility and money for kids. I donated them to the local primary school for their reader collection. Hopefully some kids will pick them up and read them. S Davidson

An Hour of Sustained Interest
I am a primary school teacher. After reading the books over the weekend I took them to work. I have just read the book about money to my Year Three class, our current maths unit is money.
The books are outstanding. I have been able to explain the quite complex content in a way children can comprehend and enjoy. Reading and a discussing your book sustained the interest of my class for about an hour. We will revisit the book later this week and I am sure when we next study money.
Have you thought of developing lesson plans/ideas? I know many primary teachers struggle with teaching subjects such economics and civics. Your books are a brilliant resource and could be the keystone to units of work.
Thank you for giving the books to my friend. I look forward to purchasing your future books!

I Want The Whole Set
Thank you Maureen for letting me read Wise T. Owl's Story of Money at the Batemans Bay markets. I was given the books about Trust and Rules for Christmas. I want to collect the whole set. They help me work things out. When will you have Wise T. Owl's Story of Boundaries?

Making Money Understandable
I liked their attempt to make money understandable to children. It is difficult enough to make most adults understand it or even interest them in the topic.
All they want is more of it, even if it is only the money of monetary despotism. That monetary freedom could greatly increase their ability to pay does not seem to interest them.
If they think of reforms, then they confine themselves mostly to going back to redeemable rare metal currencies.

Springboards to Discuss Trust and Rules
Congratulations to Maureen Nathan and illustrator Dylan Chambers. As a team you have created very useful springboards for discussion. The Wise T. Owl series will be a welcome addition in my waiting room as a Child Psychologist..

Very Helpful Book For Parents
Big subject broken down into various aspects to help teach children about the important role trust has in our dealings with other people and our interaction in the world.
A must have "go to" book helping nurture positive relationships based on trust and also helpful to alert children of potentially dangerous or harmful situation that may need to be dealt with.
Humourous illustrations, in bright primary colours, help lighten the topic and make you think.
Recommend this book for: Parents and grandparents of young or primary aged children.

Wise Books for English as a Second Language
I have just read the first 3 books in the Wise T. Owl Series. As I am French, English is my second language. I find the books about Rules and Trust very easy to follow, and think that they should be used in class. They would serve two purposes. Provide English Lessons and Lessons in Self Responsibility. I look forward to seeing the book on Boundaries.

inspirational author
Picture books for children that teaches them the value and importance of money, trust and other issues parents can teach their children. Maureen Nathan is a talented author from the South Coast of NSW who lives in France. These books make an excellent learning aid for parents and teachers.
This woman is truly inspirational. Check out her page!

Rules For The Very Young - 6 & 3 yr olds interact
Dear Maureen and team,
My grandson who is Six choose the book about rules. I pre-read it and thought the language may be a little complex for him.
I was so wrong, this book has been read over and over with different pages and rules being talked about. The questions that he asks have lead to very interesting discussions and I have also had to really try to explain what and why I believe.
It is fantastic that the emphasis is not on right and wrong but on difference.
Yesterday our three year old grandson joined in and he was very interested in the early page where different children are building sandcastles with different rules. We really did have a fantastic talk about respecting and understanding what can happen when we don't understand that sort of difference.
Thank you so much and keep up the good work.
