5.0 out of 5 stars
Simple story- important message,
By Becky G. (Needham, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Very Best Place for a Penny (Hardcover)
This book gives a simple message about how important it is to save all those little pennies that you find in out of the way places. For the youngest child, this book is easy to follow with large illustrations of a penny "character". The penny narrates the story and talks about where the best place for him to be kept is. At the end, a small boy finds him and puts him in his "tzedakah box" which is a saving place for money that is then used to perform a "mitzvah"- or good deed to help those in need. Great little book. My four year old liked it.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Participatory,
By Stella Hostis (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Very Best Place for a Penny (Hardcover)
Prayer-leaders and teachers, this book has a refrain that young children quickly learn to fill in with/for you. They enjoy the personification of the penny, especially in the illustrations ("it has legs like a boy!"). Valuable addition to your library. P.S. You can get it direct from the publisher for $10 by calling 1-877-4-MERKOS, so don't spend $40 on the resellers that link to Amazon.

This review is from: The Very Best Place for a Penny (Hardcover)
This book is dated but still cute. Good for kids ages about three to six years old. A good way to teach little ones about the importance of charity.
