Teeny Weeny Penny tells
the story of Shaira, a young Asian girl, who finds a dull, brown
penny while making mudpies. She decides that the penny is a
lucky penny and will not trade it with her friend for any toy he
has or with her brother for candy. Neither does Shaira take her
mother's advice and put the penny in the bank to make more
pennies. Shaira's father understands her feelings, helps her
make the penny shiny again, and gives her three other pennies,
which she uses to trade for a toy and candy and to put in the
bank. "Teeny Weeny Penny is an appealing story with which many children should identify." —CM: Canadian Review of Materials |
