Thanks for the review. My son is a first grader, so the title of the book pulled me in.

How did Allan manage to explain advanced investing concepts to his son though? Mine is already having trouble subtracting 1-10 haha

He did it mainly with short lessons that were probably a bit surface level, things like explaining compounding, not so that the kid necessarily understood the math, but so that he at least understood the result. In the end, I suspect that the Kevin who wrote the afterword, now in the fifth grader, probably had a decent understanding, but that's the result of three years and getting older.
