Customer Reviews

Lemonade for Sale

I never write a bad review, but this book came to me with only 2 pages in it. Everything else had been ripped out and wasn't even there. I could have at least fixed it if the pages had been there. This was an ex-library copy (hardbound) book. I was so looking forward to using it with my online class. In our eyes this is unacceptable.

Great math lesson

This is a very enjoyable story. It's about the Elm Street Kids Club selling lemonade to raise money to rebuild their clubhouse. They decide to chart their progress to see how they are doing by using a bar graph. This book teaches children how to use a graph and the concepts of more and less. The illustrations are also enjoyable, showing the kids dressed up as lemons to market their lemonade stand. My son is 2 1/2 and enjoyed the story. I can't wait to be able to use this as a math lesson. There is also a sections at the end of the book that discuss using a bar graph in different ways to help your children learn.
