So....my 5 year old son brings home a book from school.....it's a book that his entire grade school is reading together at home with their families and I thought to myself that it was probably a little early for a Kindergartner to have homework.....but I always enjoy a reason to read to my son so I was excited about it. The book is called The Lemonade War, and it's a book that effectively combines math, economics and marketing - all equally interesting. The book is about two siblings who are completely different who decide to have a competition of who will raise the most money with their own lemonade stands. Evan is people smart while his sister is math smart. Evan is good at talking to people, even grown ups, but his younger sister Jessie is not especially good at understanding people. So when their Lemonade War begins there's no telling who will win! As we read the book together I realized what a basic handbook it is for business ideas and busines theories. The entire book is about how these two siblings realize that having both basic business and social skills are important to get along in business as well as life. This book is good and GREAT for young capitalists!!
