And now for the next prize!
A hardcover children's book called "Entrepreneur Extraordinaire: Grandpa Helps Emily Build A Business," by J.M. Seymour, illustrated by Will Hildebrandt.
I reviewed this a few issues ago. This isn't a cuddle-up-on-the-couch-with-the-kiddies kind of read, though it's told in story form and the tone is warm. It's a book with a mission: teaching children about starting a business. I like the fact that it takes it as a given that kids can be business-people now, not just someday when they're older.
Emily, the main character, is frustrated because as often as not, the store where she grabs a bite to eat before soccer practice is out of her favorite cookies. Her mother suggests that this is a niche that could be conquered by a savvy entrepreneur, and her grandfather gives her some sound business advice. I kind of wish I'd had this book before I started SHM, particularly the part about having a business plan (which I admit I still don't entirely understand), but that's another story.
This is a sturdy color hardcover in new condition. Cover price is $20.
Who wants it?

Pick me, please!
I would love it!
My kids are always talking about starting different businesses. HOAs have killed the traditional lemonade stand!
My kids would love it. Madison has some ideas about starting a luminaria setup business for the next Christmas season.
I'd love to win this one! My kids tried to talk me into letting them breed reptiles as a home business two years ago. Note, they didn't actually own any reptiles at the time. (Actually, they still don't.)
Pearls of Something- What??? Your kids can't have a lemonade stand? What are these HOAs coming to?
I definitely want this one!
