A Dollar for Penny

(4) K-3 Step into Reading + Math series. Illustrated by Joy Allen. Each time Penny sells a cup of lemonade, she hikes up the price for the next customer. After her last sale, she's earned just enough money for her mother's birthday card. While the lemonade stand concept is unoriginal and the rhyming story's meter is uneven, the watercolor illustrations feature a whimsical lemonade-making contraption and life-size images of coins--an important visual detail for young readers.
