From Booklist
In this simple story (and simple math lesson) for new readers, Penny has a lemonade stand. First, she charges one cent, then two, then a nickel. The coins clink into her bank, with Grandma spending a dime and, later, other customers paying as much as two quarters. At the end of the day, Penny counts her money and is delighted to find she has earned 100 cents, a dollar. The jaunty rhymed text is illustrated with happy watercolor artwork that fills the pages. The money message is emphasized by the pictures of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters dotting the spreads. The last page once again shows drawings of the coins and how five pennies equal a nickel, two nickels equal a dime, etc. This book from the Step into Reading Plus Math series does double duty.

Wonderful combination of reading & math,
By "babetter" (ME United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dollar For Penny (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2) (Paperback)
My son enjoyed reading the story and the math component as well. It is easy enough for a beginning reader, and yet it can keep their attention as well.

This review is from: A Dollar For Penny (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2) (Paperback)
I purchased this book for Santa to give to my 6 year old daughter. She's in first grade and is reading only slightly above grade level and does not enjoy reading on her own. But she loved this book. She read it on her own several times and to me. The story line reinforces coin values nicely.
