Charley the Bulldog's Fantastic Fruit Stand

I bought this for my oldest daughter (2 years old) with the hopes of driving home a message. It did that and more. This is the first book we read every night (her choice). Recently, even our youngest (just turned one) has begun to listen to the story. My girls gravitated so much to the book that we purchased another for a close friend's son. The book was more than we typically spend on a book but the value the book has brought to the household is priceless. Thank you Andy for helping influence the next generation and lending a hand to parents fighting the good fight. It is extremely difficult raising a child in modern times, however, we can instill standards, values and character and reinforce the EFFORT in our children with instruments such as this book. BUY IT!!! PERIOD!!!!!

My son loves to read, play sports and play video games. We are teaching balance - it's not always easy - video games and tv are amazing for kids! He has read the Ramsey money series and manages his chore chart every day, however I needed something to motivate him to do more than just "the minimum". That's where this book came in. Here is someone else besides Mom showing him about the amazing things he can accomplish, the good times he can have and the people he can help when he puts his mind and actions to it. Yesterday he scripted and filmed his first youTube video for a channel he is putting together. Andy & Vaughn's books are motivational for him now and into the future. When he's old enough I will let him listen to the podcast :)

My daughter squealed with joy and excitement when she saw the package on the doorstep. No sooner did we get in the door and she ripped in to the Amazon box with anticipation of finding what was tucked away inside. I was actually a little surprised at the amount of excitement she had after a long first day back to school after a two week Christmas break. I thought for sure she would want nothing to do with a book, but I was completely wrong. She loved the storyline and especially when she found out the hard worker was Charley the girl dog. At every flip of the page she couldn't wait to find out what Charley and Otis was up to next. The illustrations were fantastic and complimented the story very well.Cons: my 7 year old daughter was upset there were no more books in the series. Gave me a great opportunity to explain what delayed gratification is.

I bought this book when my son was just an infant, waiting for the day he turned 5 or so to read it to him. However, when he was just 2 and 1/2 yrs old he wanted me to read this book to him because he loves dogs. It's currently his favorite book. I guess they are never too young to start learning about being entrepreneurial.

This book is excellent and there needs to be more of this message sent to all the children. I feel it's important for children to know the benefits of working hard and how things pay off. The sooner it is instilled into their mind the better. Also as a parent it's nice to read this book to my son, a book that has a real message and one that is enjoyable. I don't like reading him books that don't serve much of a purpose. The illustrations in the book are amazing. The quality of the book is on point. I didn't expect anything less from this group. They are amazing and do so much good in this world. I'm happy to see they are trying to make an impact on the youth. Can't wait to get the delivery of Play to Win. Oh also, it's the only book my son ever asked me to read him twice in one night and my wife also loved the book. Enjoy all.

I love that this book teaches the joy that kids can attain from a little hard work. Work ethic is essential to a healthy and happy society. More kids should be reading books like this. I do find it funny that the puppy buys food for the fruit stand when she lives on a fruit farm but when I noted this to my kids my sun very quickly said that it was because the fruit from the farm was not ripe yet. LOL. We got some good critical thinking out of the holes in the story as well. A win win all around, and my kids love it.

My husband and I have two boys (8 and 3). We both follow the author Andy Frisella, his podcast and his business. We were so pleased to hear when he announced his new children's book! All I can say is, nothing but GOOD things come from this book. It's so important to teach our kids that hard work pays off, in a form that they can easily comprehend! The book is written perfectly for kids to understand, young readers to read out loud and the illustrations are lively! Our 8-year old was able to read this without hesitation. Our only question, when is the next one being written and published??

I really enjoyed reading this book. The 2 main characters are bulldogs, with 2 "parent" owners. The graphics are colorful and the words are short. It is an interesting book because it focuses on hard work and determination, which is not very common in childrens' books. Cannot wait for the rest of them! Already gave my first copy away to my friend's 1 year old for his birthday. It's never too early to start. ;)

Bought the whole collection and my daughter read all books in 15min because she’s 10 yo, it’s not her fault it’s actually mine as I didn’t check what group age they’re for although I’ve listened to the MFCEO’s podcast and know exactly who they’re for but still made the mistake (dumb).Wasn’t a waste of money after all because my daughter gifted them to her younger cousin who’s 5 yo and she loves them a lot.Thank you

Fab story, my 8yr old loved it

Great book!I love the concepts in this book and it’s been cool to educate my kids on business from a young age.

Start them young. Teach them that life doesn’t give you anything you have to go out and work for it.

Brilliant book!! The illustrations are great and the mindset behind it is spot on. My daughters favourite bedtime story!
