From the early days of traders and trappers to today's global online
marketplace, business is the glue that holds our world together. In
Entrepreneurship: Create Your Own Business, children learn what it
takes to transform a great idea into their own new business. Through
plenty of hands-on activities, art and history meet economics and math
while young readers gain a solid understanding of how a business works.
Kids use familiar resources to develop a business idea of their own,
create a presentation for potential investors, and utilize basic cost
and price analysis worksheets. The skills they learn by writing a
business plan, creating a prototype of an item to sell, designing
packaging, and finding ways to advertise their products translate into
language, math, and problem-solving skills that are relevant across all
subjects. Cartoon illustrations, fun facts, and interviews with
successful entrepreneurs make Entrepreneurship entertaining and
informative. Supplemental materials include a glossary, list of
resources, and an index.
