Lemonade in Winter: A Book about Two Kids Counting Money
by Emily Jenkins
Age: 1st-2nd grade
The cold, bitter wind is howling outside and a cozy family spends time together at the puzzle table. When all of the sudden, Pauline declares "Let's have a lemonade stand!" Although her parents are wary, Pauline and her little brother, John-John buy their supplies, make their lemonade, and set up shop. Pauline and John-John think up countless ways to draw people in to buying cold lemonade on a cold day.
A perfectly constructed story that occasionally brings in counting concepts with money. This is its greatest achievement because it doesn't seem too didactic that a child looses interest. Another great feature of this book is the visual presentation of counting. For example, when the lemonade is all gone, the siblings count up their money. Pauline draws the amount of cups sold with the corresponding amount of quarters underneath it. While the story focuses on quarters, Jenkins provides a cute and effective description of the other US coins.
