From the publisher:
Charlie has a dilemma. Christmas is
approaching and he wants to give his teacher a special gift. He’s been saving
his money to purchase a present for Miss James but until he and Emma make a
trip to visit Nana, he isn’t quite sure what he will do. Join Charlie and Emma
as they learn more about the third jar — spending wisely — and why it’s just as
important as the giving and saving jars. “Nana’s 3 Jars: Spending Wisely” is an
interactive book for adults to read and then make hot chocolate mix with
children using the recipe in the back of the book. It is the third and final
book in the “Nana’s 3 Jars” series.
My review:
Carol Round’s delightful third book
of her series of children’s stories with a moral is a great read with sweet
illustrations to subtly teach children about giving gifts with a purpose. Gifts
are personal and meaningful when they come from the heart and are created with
thought, based on affordability. The stories are based on a lesson Charlie and
Emma’s grandmother teaches about earning and saving money, when to give, and when
to spend it. Charlie visits his grandmother on the farm and sees the perfect
holiday gift for his teacher. His grandmother and mother help him create the
gift using donations and purchased items from his savings for him to give.
Included in the book are the
directions for this gift—hot chocolate mix in a jar, directions, as well as
labels to create readers’ own Saving, Giving, Spending jars. Beautifully
illustrated, not too long for a good sit-down read, and easily read.
Volumes One and Two, Giving Generously, and Saving Pennies, are available as well.

About the Author, Carol Round
I am a transplanted Okie. I was born
in Lake Charles, Louisiana. However, my parents, who were originally from the
Sooner State, decided to return to their roots in 1969 when I was 16-years-old.
Although I have only returned to my birth state three times, Oklahoma people
still detect a bit of Cajun accent. I think that’s funny because they
don’t think they have an accent.
No matter where I’m living—I’ve moved
ten times since I graduated from high school—I love being outdoors any time of
the year. Whether it is raining, snowing or the sun is shining or hiding behind
a cloud, I prefer the beautiful landscape of God’s creation anytime.
Being outdoors, even when I’m weeding my flowerbeds, helps me to reconnect with
God.
