Summer is finally here and I am looking forward to a tall, cold glass of lemonade! In this fun summertime story, a little girl wants to make and sell lemonade. After experimenting to find the perfect recipe, she heads out to the streets to sell her yummy drink. But when she gets outside, there is no space for her because there are other kids who have the same idea. Deciding to take her stand away from the city, the cart ends up rolling away and lands by the rivers edge. Just when she feels discouraged and wants to give up, unusual and very thirsty customers start arriving. It turns her sour day into a good day which leads her to a bigger and better lemonade dream for the future.
The whimsical illustrations are filled with imagination and humor. The kids will giggle when they look closely and see all the funny details on each page. The little girls can do attitude and perseverance is a great message for kids. It would be a wonderful book to read for the start of summer. It may spark kids to design and build their own lemonade stand and try selling or fundraising for a good cause themselves. I always make a point of stopping when I see a stand in my neighborhood. I know how excited kids will be when their work hard pays off and they sell a cup. I think this is a "just right book" 5-7.~
