and I was weeding JE's and found this great one called The Bow Wow Bake Sale by Judith Bauer Stamper where a group of kids (including an Emily) want to adopt a puppy and figure out how to raise the money to keep it (by baking bone-shaped dog treats and selling them in the park). I thought it would be fun to do a booklist of lemonade-stand type stories for summer. Here are a few:

Lemonade for sale by Bettina Ling
Maisy makes lemonade by Lucy Cousins
The Lemonade Raid by Carolyn Keene ("When her lemonade stand is threatened by a lemon-stealing bandit, Nancy wonders who could possibly want to steal a box of lemons and searches for clues in a surprising place.")
Lulu's Lemonade (though the library doesn't seem to have it, there's an adorable Reading Rainbow review)

I found one video, Lemonade for sale from GPN/WNED-TV. On the practical side, there's The lemonade stand : a guide to encouraging the entrepreneur in your child by Emmanuel Modu. I'm sure there are more but I should stop procrastinating, finish my fundraising letters and work on my booktalks...
