Today I’m reviewing four children’s books about starting your own business, plus two wonderful new board book releases. I don’t remember going through a phase when I wanted to own a business as a kid (I wanted to write horror novels and be a spy: a perfect combo), but many kids do. My daughter says she wants to run a cat rescue pet store. I’m allergic to cats, so I told her she could do that when she moves out!
