Customer Reviews

Perfect to talk about the Penny

This is a fabulous book. It not only shows children how important the penny can be but also gives wonderful facts about the Penny's history. At my school, we use it to discuss our Penny Harvest--a time when we collect pennies for charity! Also the illustrations are magnificent!
