Kid Pickers: How to Turn Junk into Treasure

Mike Wolfe has given past and future generations a great gift with this book, encouraging children to explore the past and learn about history through collecting artifacts from days gone by. "History" is PEOPLE, and Wolfe obviously respects both. Best of all, this book might inspire kids and parents to actually do something together (*gasp* ... what a concept). I bought my copy to share with my grandgirls (age 2) and look forward to many happy years of picking with them, and learning about history (that of others as well as our own) along the way. Bravo, Mike Wolfe.

Spring is in full swing and with that comes yard sales and flea market swaps. Our 5 year old twins have an affinity for the the show American Pickers and with this trusty little book, they've gained some valuable tips. I am so glad that Mike decided to write this book for all the little pickers who wanted to feel more involved. My son has even asked if we could go to an estate auction so he could look for what he likes to pick- lunchboxes to put smaller treasures in :)

I am a huge goodwill, yard sale type person and this book was used in our homeschool setting and was great for researching things that we found as well as stressing the issue of re-use and recycle. My kids (ages 9 and 12) loved it, but I think that I liked it more.

This will be a birthday present for my 9 year old grandson. He and his dad cleaned out my garage, and he found so many treasures. I called him my junior picker! I hope he gets a kick out of the book.

My husband and I love the TV show and saw Mike Wolfe on a morning show talking about the book for kids. We bought it for our 8 year old grandson's birthday thinking that it might be an interesting hobby for him. The book is engaging and written in a way that will encourage kids to explore the history of the objects they find.

I love this book. I bought it for my 10 year old grandson and he is now trying to bargain with everything and everyone to get the best deal for himself! lol Everyone should buy for the kids because it teaches them to look for deals and teaches them bargaining techniques that come into play with everyday challenges as well as garage sales.

We bought several copies for our grandkids. They are interested in collecting and maybe reselling items so we thought this will be a good way to introduce them to picking.

I am late 20s and I felt like this book helped me even though it is meant for kids, 10 stars for this book quick and easy read maybe 1 hour and you can knock it out.
