Abstract:

The notion of Entrepreneurship has the natural inclination to be associated with the adult world as a reasonable choice for advancement. Childhood, the period in which an individual’s mental and physical abilities are nurtured at its best, despite its conventional and socially set exposure to numerous subjects, is still kept off from basic entrepreneurial lessons. In a general sense, Entrepreneurship can be assumed as any business that has been established with the intention of profit making while the revamping and problem solving capabilities of the same are increasingly being emphasized in the modern perception of the term. It has variously been interpreted by experts where the central prudency is on a timely execution of ideas that brings about some kind of social change. Joseph A. Schumpeter identifies Entrepreneurship as an innovation that leads to the welfare of the Entrepreneur. Robert K. Lamb highlights the social orientation correlated to it along with the economic side. Robert D. Hisrich and Michael P. Peters recognize Entrepreneurship as a rewarding activity where individuals strive to make something advantageous to the society. Thus, building a sense of Entrepreneurship among kids from an early stage of life especially through books of fiction can bring about revolutionary changes in their perspectives as well as holistic development which will eventually initiate social progress. The paper brings about a thorough scrutiny of renowned classics for children Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll and Green Eggs and Ham by Dr.Seuss that feed entrepreneurial qualities concealed in riveting stories and inspects how different skills are either present or absent in these books.
