From the Series Math Is Fun!

  • Interest Level: Kindergarten - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

Count along with Jenny as she saves up her pennies—and nickels, dimes, quarters, even a fifty-cent piece—to make a special purchase that costs one dollar. But even when she has the right amount saved, will she be able to bring her treasure home?
This clever story and life-sized illustrations of coins make learning how to count money a rich experience.

Reviews

School Library Journal

“Besides being a useful lesson in counting money, this book succeeds as a believable story of earning, saving, and spending it, which many children will have experienced themselves.”
