Fast Cash for Kids: 101 Money-Making Projects for Young Entrepreneurs.

You won;t find a lot of specifics about starting a particular business. But at least you won't be wracking your brains out about the kinds of businesses your child could go into.

For instance, a backpack can be turned into a mobile store for selling school supplies - notebooks, pens, pencils and rulers. Or an enterprising youngster who has access to a computer could create custom greeting cards, thank-you notes and parry fliers. These are just a couple of the thought-provoking ideas found in Fast Cash For Kids.

What's also noteworthy about this book is that it provides a few tips on where to go for money. For example, you might try negotiating a small loan from your parents or starting a savings plan. Fast Cash For Kids also offers guidance on creating a business plan, preparing a budget and schedule, and sales and marketing. There's also a resource list to tell you where to go to find out about taxes, licenses or permits that might be required.

The Kids Mean Business newsletter, produced by Bonnie Drew is also helpful. For two year, Drew wrote a weekly column called "Cash `n kids" for the Houston Chronicle.
