Book Reviews of Alex and the Amazing Lemonade Stand
Book Review: Helping Others, One Glass of Lemonade at a Time
Summary: 5 Stars
Alex and the Amazing Lemonade Stand is an inspiring book based on a true story about a young girl with cancer who refuses to let her disease get her down. Realizing that she can make a difference, she sets up a lemonade stand and donates the proceeds to help other children who have been diagnosed with cancer. She became known across the United States as the lemonade girl and she inspired thousands of other children and parents to setup their own lemonade stands to help raise money for cancer research.
The young girl on which this story is based is Alex Scott, a brave little girl who dedicated her life to helping other children, one glass of lemonade at a time. Many might recall the true story of Alex Scott and her determination to change the world by selling lemonade. Many children have used lemonade stands in the past as a means to make money and Alex was no different, except that she wanted the funds to go toward an important cause. She wanted to help other children, and she immediately turned over her proceeds to the hospital that had helped her.
Alex and the Amazing Lemonade Stand is a fictional book by design, but it is about as close to non- fiction as a fictional book can possibly be and still be referred to as fiction. The book explains the Alex Scott story through rhymes and rhythm and even though the words are written in a fictional way, the underlying story is based on fact. The rhymes and rhythm help keep the story moving along and both children and parents alike will all enjoy the books rhyming patterns on every page.
The rhythm of this book is certainly among its many strengths, but the book's greatest asset is its core message. It encourages children to help others in need and it accomplishes this through example. Here we have a terminally ill child who had only a short time on the Earth but still made a difference. All she did was sell lemonade, but she improved the lives of thousands and inspired the formation of a charitable foundation to help future generations of children faced with terminal illness.
Little Alexandra Scott passed away in 2004 but she has left behind a legacy that will live forever. Lemonade stands are setup in her foundation's honor across the United States and young children everywhere are learning from her brave and important example. This book is a good starting point to learn more about the foundation and Alex's unique and special story. It is a highly inspiring and enjoyable book that makes a great gift for young children everywhere.
