Grades 4-8 This straightforward manual is intended for kids who are aspiring entrepreneurs. It comes from the American Library Association-endorsed Startup Squad, a proven brand that offers a website, start-up kits, and downloadable worksheets to help young CEOs navigate the myriad tasks involved in launching a business. Brief chapters set off by subheadings feature helpful checklists, charts, quotes, graphic organizers, hints, and numerous profiles of currently thriving ventures and the young people responsible for their success. The overall tone is friendly and encouraging, and pages walk readers through steps ranging from finding ideas, narrowing down and focusing on a specific goal, developing a brand, determining an audience, financing, marketing and advertising, selling and delivering, keeping momentum going, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Readers will be inspired by the variety of cited success stories and their range of products: dog biscuits, honey lemonade, soap, shampoo, bow ties, baked goods, LEGO makerspaces, and recycled stuffed animals. This helpful and timely offering will appeal to future tycoons and support personal-finance units.COPYRIGHT(2024) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Gr 4-7-Many children and teens are interested in making money outside of the traditional job market, since most businesses and organizations will not hire before a certain age. This book offers ideas and strategies to young entrepreneurs everywhere. It is a new addition to the "Startup Squad" series dedicated to helping educate children about money and entrepreneurship. Readers are given prompts and exercises to discover the product or service that best suits their interest, learn to set up a successful business, manage competition, explore their market, and calculate expenses and profit. The chaptered, text-heavy layout is attractively formatted with infographics and inset boxes featuring themes such as "Startup Stars" and "Startup Secrets." This book is a one-stop shop for all future entrepreneurs. VERDICT Recommended for general purchase for all nonfiction collections; there are impossibly few resources available to this readership that take on this topic and cover it in such depth.-Kristen Todd-Wurm
