A young entrepreneur sets out to earn some money and discovers the value of a dollar (and of dirt)! Perfect for fans of Lemonade in Winter, The Most Magnificent Thing, and Rosie Revere, Engineer.Birdie doesn't know much about money. All she knows is that she wants a new soccer ball that costs $24.95. The fastest way to that $24.95 is going into sales, but what to sell?All her belongings?Not much of a market for those.Birdie needs something that she has in abundance and that everyone needs. So when she sees everyone in her neighborhood working on their yards, she realizes she's hit pay dirt. Literally!Soon Birdie is raking in the dough, with profits of all varieties: quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies, even dollar bills! Now she can buy that soccer ball, but does her business plan have any holes?An industrious tale about striking it rich!"A terrific treatise for early financial literacy that subtly teaches about worth determination, pricing structures, coin values, marketing techniques, and the reward of hard work, all supported by a delightful story with a roundheaded protagonist in amusingly huge, faceswallowing glasses and ittybitty pigtails."Booklist"Our heroine has a positive outlook and doesn't let things get her down. The book demonstrates how even a young child can be a great entrepreneur. A light, fun, and educational tale that would work wonderfully as a twovoice readaloud."SLJ"Hoffmann cleverly intertwines early math skills with messages of working toward goals and problemsolving. Worth it, dirt and all."Kirkus "Every great businessperson starts out small...Can an IPO be far behind?" Publisher's Weekly"There's a stealthy math lesson here as Birdie counts her coins, and her cando attitude makes for a nice message about the value of hard work, but it's just as likely that readers introduced to this funny bit of capitalism will start looking to monetize whatever they can get their hands on." The Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books
