A valuable lesson in counting money and economics in a story guaranteed to make you cold just reading about it. I love that the kids didn't give up, but couldn't help but think they would have had popsicles without having to pay for them if they'd just stayed outside a bit longer...which was probably the point. Anyway, it's a fun book that gently teaches and is a great way to open up a conversation about businesses and expectations and all kinds of other things.

Pauline is the one who looks out on a blustery winter day and thinks of running a lemonade stand. Her little brother John-John immediately thinks it’s a great idea, but her parents are sure it won’t work. So the kids set out to collect enough money to open their stand. They dig in the couch, search pockets, and look in their piggy banks. At the store they spend 24 quarters or six dollars on supplies. They rush back home to make the lemonade, the limeade and the lemon-limeade and then out onto th...

Kids have a lemonade stand in winter. They don't do well but they have enough money at the end to buy....popsicles. What else do you buy in the middle of winter.

When life gives you Lemons 🍋 make lemonade. There are several lessons to be learned from lemonade.

This is an entertaining, although somewhat silly story about children who attempt to make money by having a lemonade (limeade/lemon-limeade) stand in the middle of winter. The lesson about cost versus income is invaluable and I love that the money and math lesson is seamlessly worked into the story. The illustrations are colorful and cartoonish and complement the story nicely. We enjoyed reading this book together.

This is a great little book for teaching young children about money and simple addition. :)

This book stood out to me when looking for a concept book due to the title showing the reader it would be about money and I usually don't see picture books about counting money which is primarily a math concept, and thought it would be an interesting concept to explore as a picture book to possibly integrate into a k-3rd grade classroom or lesson. Right away the illustration style stood out since it looks like it was drawn with colored pencils making it look "homemade or kid like." In "Lemonade

Book Description: Pauline and John-John decide to have a lemonade stand in the middle of winter. Young readers can learn to count coins with Pauline and John-John as they count their coins, buy ingredients and sell lemonade. Story:This book has a great concept: teaching children about money, how to count it, spend it, and save it. I think the book even does a good job in the way it presents coins and counting them and identifying their worth. But the story just didn’t really work for me. I think...

I can just picture how a teacher might use this book for presenting a math concept in context. And, what a rich context! Everything from advertising and marketing to profit and loss as well as addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Yet,I think it was as much written to share a fun situation as to teach. I would read this to kids just for the enjoyment of it. The illustrations gave me chills just thinking about drinking cold drinks on a snowy street. My favorite illustration had mom and dad l...

There's a lot of realism here. 1. Kids are relentless once they decide on lemonade stand--nothing else will do. 2. It costs a lot to get started. 3. If you're not right on with the timing and the place, business is slow. This book reminded me so much of all my daughters' lemonade stand attempts. Fictional license: The kids in the book made all the lemonade themselves and didn't ask the adults for any help. It was a pleasant surprise that Jenkins had the kids bust their butts on advertising and s...
