Review of One Proud Penny

One Proud Penny
Written by Randy Siegal                     
Illustrated by Serge Bloch
Ages:  4 - 8  
Grade level:  Pre – 3

This is such a cute book!  Teachers and kids will love it!  The illustrations use the penny as main body with cartoon drawings added.  This is a good mix of fiction (with a talking penny), and nonfiction (with facts like how pennies are made, how they’re used, and their history).  Penny’s hero is Abe Lincoln, of course, and he takes Abe’s advice to heart, “Whatever you are, be a good one.”  Read this book to make sense of cents!  All puns intended!
