Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Follow along and count coins with Jessie and her friends as they are transformed into a clown, a monster, and more at the face painting booth. With a naughty cat underfoot and festive illustrations by Lynne Cravath, this coin counting story is sure to be a favorite.

Rating: - Perfect for 2nd-5th grade!

This book was a great way to help children learn about different ways to make the same amount of money, in this case, the fifty cents needed to go to the face painting booth. The story offered several opportunities to practice counting coins, while using repeated, predictable text that is wonderful for early elementary readers.
