This third edition of a 1995 publication, written by a brother-and-sister team, takes students to the heart of entrepreneurship-showing that running a successful business takes first an idea and then the know-how to get the business started and to grow. The young authors define exactly what a business is and how it is structured. The next decision is the location of the business, and the skills, capital, and marketing needed. Finally the authors give twenty ideas for businesses that youth might start. These begin with the tried-and-true, such as a lemonade stand, and go on to personalizing T-shirts, leaf raking, lawn mowing, making and selling compost; garage sales, couponing, and so on. For each venture, the steps needed for success are outlined. Several suggestions seem to involve the person selling services to his or her family. But for those with cooperative families, the principles are valid and the skills gained are worthwhile. This book can certainly be thought provoking for young people with an entrepreneurial spirit, as it explains simply the fundamentals of a successful business along with a dash of more sophisticated business concepts. The illustrations are lively and engaging, and the text non-threatening. The book might also serve as supplementary text in a middle or junior high economics class.

First written in 1993 by eleven-year-old Arthur Bochner and his mother (Totally Awesome Business Book for Kids [Newmarket, 1995/VOYA April 1996]), this third edition has now been completely revised and updated by Arthur and his younger sister, Rose. Using an easy and comfortable style that young people will find unthreatening, the book presents a wealth of information on the basics of money management, beginning quite simply and gradually advancing to more complex financial topics. The premise of the book is that many youth have discretionary money and that they can either learn to use it wisely or watch it slip between their fingers. Five topic sections are subdivided into chapters, dealing with subjects such as budgets, goal setting, ways of making money, stocks and bonds, credit and debt, paying bills, taxes, saving for college, and investing. Along with the text are some ingenious games and puzzles designed to show how money works. The cute illustrations are also fun. This seemingly lighthearted book has the serious purpose of helping young people learn to manage money without the fear and worry that afflicts so many of their elders. It is a great learning tool for students who are motivated to read it.
