Average Reviews:

Charlie Sykes, once again, proves that common sense isn't completely dead.
A few examples:
Rule #1: Life is not fair. Get use to it.
Rule #9: Your school may have done away with winners and losers. Life hasn't.
Rule #14: Looking like a slut does not empower you.
Rule #30: Zero tolerance=zero common sense.
Rule #35: If your butt has its own zip code, it's not because McDonald's forced you to eat all those Big Macs. If you smoke, it's not Joe Camel's fault.
Rule #36: You are not immortal.
Some simple truisms that could benefit both kids, and adults!

Janie Johnson's Don't Take My Lemonade Stand is a conservative mom's best new tool in parenting. She has provided a very detailed yet easy to read book that anyone can benefit from reading. As a busy parent, we know what we know and why, but it is so hard to put it in terms that our kids will easily understand. Janie has done all the hard work, superbly annotated; she has gone through the research and put it all together for parents to share with their kids. Many times, we get one side of politics but she goes the extra mile to put down why those on the other side of the fence believe the way that they do. Most books right now focus on what is wrong with our world; Janie provides an uplifting, positive book with optimistic quotes, cartoons and questions to initiate further discussion with your kids. I highly recommend this book for anyone, young or old, that wants a clear understanding of history, politics and where we can be with a little more lemonade in our life! Thank you Janie!!

Teach your children to think for themselves and why America is great. With 51 captioned illustrations, 11 parables that teach lessons of life, and Questions for Kids at the end of each major section, Don't Take My Lemonade Stand - An American Philosophy is written to help parents teach their children. We as parents have the obligation to take charge of who is teaching our children and what our children are being taught.
This book is for those that believe in the preeminence of children, the vigorous expression of patriotism, and the power of clear-eyed optimism. Janie Johnson says ''The strength of our country resides in the minds of our children, and the future of our country will be found in their actions.''
There's no question that our political system has become corrupt and politicians -- on both sides of the aisle -- are voting in favor of the special interests that donated to them instead of the citizens who elected them. They have all contributed to the abandonment of the Common Sense Conservative principles upon which our country was founded and under which we have prospered.
Don't Take My Lemonade Stand: An American Philosophy is the book that tells where we came from, how out-of-control, big government/big spending policies are driving us to ruin, and exactly what we the people can do to take back our country right here, right now, and get it back on course to peace, prosperity, and opportunity.
