A Crocodile for Billy.

Eva came home from school on Mnday with a book, I was confused at first to why she had two books in her bag (normally she has a reading book for homework in her book bag), then after a little conversation with Eva it seems it is her's to keep. She's never been given a free book before so stright away I was interested in finding out what the story was about, and I have to say I was more then surprised by this book.

The book is written for LloydsTSB bank, it's basically to encourage saving. I myself thought this was a brilliant idea. We've been trying to get Eva to understand money more, and wanting her to save her pocket money (she currently get's £1 every week) so for us this book is going be very helpful. Eva's told me they already read it at school, which is very encouraging to know they are teaching her about saving money there too.

Inside the book was a savings chart and some stickers - which great if you have a child who likes stickers, I however don't - The saving's chart however, is and will be very useful. Now we aren't with LloydsTSB bank, but this is still a fantasic idea. I did pop over to the website (here) but it seems it's since been closed down, which I am rather confused about. It would have been nice to get some more information about it.

(Update) : The book is available on E-book here.
