- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pauline and her brother John-John decide to open a lemonade (and limeade!) stand despite the icy cold weather in this engaging picture-book from author Emily Jenkins and illustrator G. Brian Karas. They spend six dollars on the supplies, and proceed to sell their drinks, first for fifty cents and then for twenty-five. At the end of the day, they've only made four dollars, but John-John isn't disturbed: four dollars can buy two popsicles!As the sub-title of Lemonade in Winter: A Book About Two Kids Counting Money would suggest, this story of two siblings and their wintry business venture makes for a good introduction to money and basic business principles for younger children. The story itself is entertaining, as Pauline and John-John attempt to attract customers, while the artwork is appealing. A brief afterword breaks down the different denominations of coin present in US currency. Recommended to anyone looking for a book that explains coins and currency to young children, or for stories about children following through with their ideas, even when everyone around them doubts the wisdom of their venture.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked this book because it was fun and I think students would like this too. I liked it because the children worked hard and were determined to sell their lemonade in the dead of winter. I would use this book in a read aloud in a 1st or 2nd grade classroom. I would use this book with addition and counting money. I could also use this in older grades to teach business.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It is freezing outside when Pauline decides to open a lemonade stand. No, make that lemonade, limeade, and lemon-limeade! Her little brother, John-John eagerly joins in, while their parents warn that no one will be outside in this weather. Pauline and John-John are undeterred, and head to the store after ransacking the couch cushions for quarters. They come up with twenty-four quarters, enough for lemons, limes, sugar, and cups. A lovely illustration lays this out visually, with the quarters needed for each item beside that item. They get to work and set up their stand...and no one is outside. They try a number of strategies to attract customers, including a cute little song that is repeated on several pages. They are not bothered by the dearth of customers and appear to be having the time of their lives as they happily bellow out their lemonade song, John-John does cartwheels, and they reduce the price in a lemonade sale. Once the lemonade, limeade, and lemon-limeade run out, they total their earnings, and Pauline is dismayed to realize that they spent more than they earned! John-John helps her find the bright side to this entrepreneurial failure, and the story ends with Pauline's very concise, entertaining explanation of American currency for John-John.I read this with my five-year-old daughter, and we both loved it. We loved the soft, muted illustrations, which include sly details like John-John assembling puzzle pieces under the table before the children head outside. I have tried to get my child interested in the values of coins, to no avail, but she sat rapt through Pauline's explanation (in which she says that nickels are confusing and she wishes they were purple or something). The story is utterly positive, from the moment the kids start their project in spite of their parents' gentle warnings that winter is not the best time to sell lemonade, and the looks of joy on their faces as they attempt to lure customers are priceless. The entrepreneurial spirit, the brother-sister joint project, the creativity the children display at their stand (rewarded by their bemused neighbors), and the lesson that profit isn't the highest value would have made for a wonderful story even without the clear, engaging math lesson! Seriously, my child has shown zero interest in the value of coins, but she was hanging on every word as Pauline explained it to her little brother. Available September 11. I recommend pulling it out on a cold, snowy day when the children are getting cabin fever!Source disclosure: I received access to an early electronic edition of this title from Random House Children's Books.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good story about entrepreneurship for children under 10 years old.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a great little book. A story about 2 siblings selling lemonade in the winter! The story is nice and it describes money and it's worth. For example, at the end of the book is a page where Pauline explains money to John-John. This example is provided in kid relevant terms. I must admit though, while reading the book the money portion seemed to be the focus and the story wrapped around that. The focus went from explaining money worth to adding it up, multiplying it, and figuring out less and more. It wasn't confusing for me, because I'm 34, but I could see a younger child getting a little confused.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Lemonade in winter is a nice book about a girl ad her younger brother. The children decide that it will be fun to sell lemonade in winter. It is a nice book to teach children how to count money. Also, teacher can incorporate it to their lesson plans.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pauline and John-John decide to sell lemonade and limeade in the middle of a cold winter day with snow on the ground. They go buy all the supplies and miraculously sell 11 cups of lemonade. This picture book is very cute. It also teaches kids about how money works with a special section in the back to go over how coins work.
