Jenny Found a Penny Library Binding – January 1, 2007

Jenny Found a Penny is an adorable novel about counting money and about saving money for the things you really want. I read it to 6-7 year olds and they loved it. They also enjoyed interactively counting the coins shown on the page. I bought it from an Amazon seller and they did a great job with packaging and shipping in a timely fashion. The book was also in the condition as described on Amazon's site.

This book is amazing!!! I have to say I love how they make adding fun!!!!

Great for my 4yr. old.

The description doesn’t do this book justice. This is an excellent book for teaching about coins. It’s written in rhyme, and has an opportunity for your child to count coins on each page. It also talks about saving up for something you want which is an excellent lesson for her children! Love this!

Teaching economics to younger children is straightforward when children already have an experience-based understanding of the concepts at hand. Jenny Found a Penny takes this idea head on with its lessons about money and saving woven into an interesting story to which many children can relate. Not only does Jenny find a penny in the back seat of the car, but she uses that opportunity to start saving for a special item at the dollar store. A hard worker, Jenny finds chores around the house that help her to earn a regular stream of coins for her savings jar. Readers can use the realistic illustrations of the coins in the sidebars to add up the money that Jenny accumulates. Children may also relate to Jenny's misfortune at the cashier's desk when she encounters the dreaded sales tax. This book will appeal to parents and teachers who are seeking an eye-catching book that encourages children to think about money and do the math in a creative way.

I thought that Jenny Found A Penny was an adorable book. I believe that any child would enjoy it because it teaches about money, and children are able to count how much money Jenny earns as the book goes along. I think that it would be a great book to read to children in a classroom. It is a fun, yet very informative way to teach children about money and the importance of work.

This has been one of my daughter's favorites since she was 2 (she's 4 now). It teaches what the coins look like, discusses doing chores to earn money, and even introduces the idea of tax. The visuals are really cute, too. On a slightly unrelated note, why is this book so expensive? We'll continue to get it from the library until the price comes down a bit.

This book is so cute - my daughter is only 2 but she loves it and asks for it. I think it would be extremely useful for all ages probably up through 7 or 8. It teaches what coins look like and it teaches math skills (addition). I highly recommend this book.
