From one penny to one-dollar readers will learn the various coins, their mathematical relationships, and how to add them all together once their piggybanks are full. Detailed photos of real money against colorful and bold backgrounds depict each coin along with their value. Rozanne Lanczak Williams’ simple rhyming text makes coin recognition, addition, and skip-counting fun and approachable for readers new to counting and currency.
Two of our children adopted from China and Russia were having a hard time learning how to count money, and were not understanding the concepts. This coin book is big, easy to handle, colorful and was very helpful to them. I would recommend it.
My daughter is in Kindergarten and is working on addition and subtraction in her class. I bought this book as a supplement because she loves money, especially since our family instituted a $.25 bad word "game." In my opinion this book does a good job of tieing the different money types together, i.e. 5 pennies can be 1 nickel. What it doesn't do, and this may just be my preference, is to force the reader to identify amounts outside of .25, .50, and 1.00 denominations (with varying degrees of course.)
My daughter enjoyed this book and although she has outgrown it, holds into it "as a resource." It is a good visual for learning about money-Great for when your child wants to learn more about money, but may still stick actual money in his/her mouth!
