Description: 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.
