The Little Store on the Corner

This is the story of a kind man who runs the kids' favorite ice cream store -- he gives out free toys, and is generous with the ice cream and peanuts. One day his son comes home from college, and takes over the store -- skimping on the ice cream, toys, and the fun -- because that is what they taught him in business school. At first the kids boycott the store, then, feeling bad, teach him how to run the store as a store, and not necessarily a business. Overall a kind story, with simple, fun illustrations.
