This book is so much fun! I live the silliness of the kids and the way they count money. Their lemon-lime selling song will be stuck in my head for days! ( )

Good story about entrepreneurship for children under 10 years old. ( )

This book is a great read for an elementary math class learning about money. Teachers can use this to introduce the topic. It is repetitive which helps students remember. For example they say "four quarters, that's a dollar" many times throughout the story. They also change the price of the lemonade they are selling which changes the amount of money they are making. After they sell all of the lemonade, they use the money they made to buy 2 popsicles. This also teaches students about buying and selling, and that you work towards a goal. ( )

this book is about a girl named pauline and john-john, they want to make a lemonade stand during winter. their help each other with ways to sale their lemonade, encouraging each other.

A little girl and her younger brother open a lemonade/ limeade stand in the middle of winter. The little girl breaks down how money works for her little brother and create a day of fun. In the end the little girl is sad because she “lost money” but her little brother suggests they can buy two popsicles!

I really like the way the book portrays the typical persistence of a child and the way Pauline and her little brother John-John interact. I like how the author repeated the lessons on counting and identifying the coins. Like John-John, a younger audience would really do well with the repetition and older children would learn how to teach others. It is a very cute book and could serve as a good tool in a math classroom. ( )
