Children of all ages are invited to attend a guest reading of The Berenstain Bears' book "Trouble with Money".  Each child will receive a free copy of the book and a goody bag to take home with fun and educational items.

It's never too early to teach your cubs about financial responsibility, and the Berenstain Bears guarantee a fun (and educational) storytime. Free breakfast beverages and pastries for everyone attending - the perfect way to start your weekend!

When it comes to financial education, COUNTRY Financial and Money Smart Kids Read are on the same page. With literacy and financial literacy going hand-in-hand, Money Smart Kids Read provides an opportunity to bring fun and education to the community.

Money Smart Kids Read is a part of Money Smart Week Chicago, a week-long series of free seminars dedicated to promoting financial education.

Thank you to COUNTRY Financial and to Daystar Center for hosting this event.
