Books help you learn there's never a wrong time for charitable giving: "recommending two books this month for my book club.

The first is The Giving Book by Ellen Sabin (Watering Can Press, $19.95). The second is PricewaterhouseCoopers' Guide to Charitable Giving by Michael B. Kennedy, Evelyn M. Capassakis and Richard S. Wagman (John Wiley & Sons, $19.95).
Let me focus first on Sabin's book. This 64-page, spiral-bound volume is full of fun activities intended to teach children ages 6 to 11 the importance of philanthropy. It is also partly a journal, and children are encouraged to write essays that get them to answer such questions as what are they thankful for or how they would help people in certain situations.
Most important, the activities in the book aren't just centered on one act of charity. While it's commendable that so many people are helping Katrina victims, it's better if that generosity becomes ingrained."
