What Makes KidVenture Unique

Kids learn alongside the main characters as they start a business and, through trial and error, come to understand important concepts like price discovery, market research, profit margin, productivity, and return on investment.

Throughout the story the characters are constantly negotiating — with each other, as they figure out whether to be partners, which rules they need to follow, how to divide the profits; and with customers, as they troubleshoot unanticipated problems.

The young entrepreneurs in the story keep track of revenue and expenses, estimate the value of investments, and learn how to think about the value of time. Peek at their calculations as they go.

Nothing comes easy to the young entrepreneurs in the story. They learn from their mistakes, try something different, and keep experimenting until they find what works. Kids learn the importance of not giving up when things don’t go according to plan.

Each chapter ends with thought-provoking questions that ask the reader if they think the characters are tackling the problems they face the right way, or if there are alternative solutions. Often, there are no obvious solutions, so kids can engage their imagination to problem solve.

Get inside the character’s heads as they make critical decisions and perform worst/normal/best case analysis and compare the potential upside to the expected downside. Kids learn to think of risk in sophisticated ways that are simple to understand.

Kids encounter ethical dilemmas that arise from the plot and are asked what they would do in those circumstances. The characters learn that how they treat customers, partners and employees is a big part of being successful.

All of these lessons are woven through a fun plot full of unexpected surprises in a way that is not preachy or simplistic. The banter between the characters will make you chuckle. At its heart, starting a business is an adventure.

Great book for parents to read with kids as there are many situations ripe for discussion. Characters learn that knowing how to ask for help is a critical skill.
