Illustrated by
John Hovell.
Jenny collects coins (cumulatively shown in sidebars) around her house; she's saving up for a special purchase. When she's finally ready for the dollar store, she's temporarily thwarted by the unexpected sales tax. The last page reveals Jenny's piggy-bank purchase. Angular illustrations unimaginatively mirror the occasionally forced rhyming text, which offers a simple lesson in money management.
