In It’s Just a Penny, young readers learn about the money we use every day. An easy and fun read for a beginners look at money with some basic math lessons adding up to the worth of money. “It’s all just dollars and cents.”
Overall, this was a great book! The author used language that was very easy to understand, so even young kids will be able to understand this book on their own. In addition, the author did a great job of including visuals throughout the book. Not only were visuals used to show how each bill and coin looks, but they were also used to provide a visual representation of each bill/coin’s value. I liked how the author included a little cartoon character who made jokes and provided fun facts on all the pages, as this made the book more entertaining. Overall, I think this is a great book for people interested in learning about the currency system in the US, or just anyone wanting to read a fun picture book about money!
