Review of It's Not What You've Got by Kathy Burdick

Name of App: It’s Not What You’ve Got! by Oceanhouse Media

Free or Fee: $3.99 when reviewed

Rating: 4.8/5 stars

Thanks to Oceanhouse the messages of Dr. Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay and Deepak Chopra are no longer just for adults. It’s Not What You’ve Got! is an e-book for children written by Dr. Wayne Dyer with Kristina Tracy with a wonderful message about money and abundance. Within the story children learn lessons about having money and the things it can and cannot provide. The messages empower children to follow their dream, whether their dreams make them lots or little money, and the importance of hard work. As other Oceanhouse e-books there are 3 reading options- Read to Me (narrated by Dr. Wayne Dyer), Read it Myself or Auto Play. The end of the story has several critical thinking questions for children to answer, which is a great addition for teaching some of these concepts in the classroom. There is a section at the end with several affirmations about money. The affirmations are important ideas, however, the concept of an affirmation may be difficult for some children to understand and should be used with discretion in a classroom setting. The message behind It’s Not What You’ve Got! is excellent to teach even at a young age and is a great remind for those of us a little older as well!
