Best non-intimidating introduction to financial statements， book keeping and business finance for people without any financial background。

What a cute， clever， and fun way to learn a boring subject。 It helps the reader understand the concepts that would put you to sleep in a university course。

看懂三张表应该是基本技能。感谢 beancount 这个记账工具，让我在不懂会计学前就开始使用资产负债表和利润表了。给记账的朋友们推荐 beancount 这个工具。

Making sure I freshen up my jargon for an upcoming accounting class for my MBA。 Simple explanations and easy to follow。 It makes you fill out reports and perform accounting for a kid’s lemonade stand — amount of dollars and scenarios are very conventional。 Using a child as the audience as the target audience for the book， makes it humorous and quirky。 I got my money’s worth。

This book proves the fact that a great teacher can make a relatively difficult thing sound easy。 Very helpful to make you comfortable with the accounting parlance。

i read 2/3 of the book， it was fine in the first third but then got too technical and i lost interest。maybe i would have been more interested if i had an actual business or a goal that i needed this book for。buut i was just reading it for a change of pace in the genres i read。 so i don't think my opinion counts much i read 2/3 of the book， it was fine in the first third but then got too technical and i lost interest。maybe i would have been more interested if i had an actual business or a goal that i needed this book for。buut i was just reading it for a change of pace in the genres i read。 so i don't think my opinion counts much 。。。more

Thank you， really fun and learn a lot。

This a fun， no frills approach to learn the basics of accounting。 Very helpful as a part of an introductory course。 It needs to be supplemented with a more robust work for an academic course， but it gives the simplest explanations of complex concepts and allows the reader to work though the ideas using a tool （a lemonade stand） everyone intuitively grasps。 Read as an intro to MGMT 403: Financial Accounting with Professor Henry Friedman at UCLA Anderson School of Management。

Great concept with useful analogies， but unfortunately even the revised edition has several issues。 It's a great book for beginners but won't replace an actual textbook。 Great concept with useful analogies， but unfortunately even the revised edition has several issues。 It's a great book for beginners but won't replace an actual textbook。 。。。more

An easy read， a memorable readThe story does stick to the mind， while a regular account book is forgotten very quickly， not this one！ Great read， recommended to someone new to accounting。

A very lovely read！It is a nice book to start with if you want to learn the basics of accounting and book keeping with a wonderful illustration of lemonade stand which keeps us hitched to the book till the end。 However， for an advanced course， it is not sufficient as it touches only upon the basics of accounting。

If you want to learn the basics of accounting from scratch using the simplest of learning methods， this is the one。 You might finish the book within a week。Why a 4-star rating？ Not the best of editing。 Spelling or word mistakes， incomplete pictures can be found occasionally throughout the book。

Rather nice begginner-level introduction into balance sheet， income statement， cash flow statement and a small array of other accounting-related things。 Easy to read， lots of examples。

Have no clue what accounting is？ Then this book is for you。 The book covers the fundamentals of accounting in an unconventional manner， by using examples that even a 10 year old would get。 By the end， you would have a decent understanding of all the basic terms of accounting that you would have heard like balance sheet， income statement， cash Statement and would hopefully not find yourself blank while reading more comprehensive books on accounting。

Great book， with a very simple and entertaining way of teaching the most basic concepts of accounting。 Totally worth for a first time contact to the world of accounting。

I think this book was a great introduction for non-financial people like me， the fact that it used an example of a thing so simple like the lemonade stand to project accounting on it， is so demystifying and it takes all the fear of trying or learning something new from the equation， in fact i grew more curious about accounting and i am capable to go for trying to understand complex topics or taking it a level deeper， exactly because i have read this book， i like how it projects actions as transa I think this book was a great introduction for non-financial people like me， the fact that it used an example of a thing so simple like the lemonade stand to project accounting on it， is so demystifying and it takes all the fear of trying or learning something new from the equation， in fact i grew more curious about accounting and i am capable to go for trying to understand complex topics or taking it a level deeper， exactly because i have read this book， i like how it projects actions as transactions and then trying to analyse these decisions if there was going to be a better decision that would have skyrocketed the business even more！ it's so simple and intriguing and the language was really easy and the narration was fun， i guess i'm giving it a highly rate of 4 stars because i really learned a lot from this book and how i connected with it， i understood the concepts and i feel like i have made a pretty solid foundation start digging deeper later！ so yeah Highly Recommended！ 。。。more
