Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My daughter chose this book from the library and I have since bought a few of Lizzy Rockwell's books.
Pros:
Very multicultural
Nice flow
Great ideas for 100 day activities
Cons:
(Spoiler Alert!)
The very end is odd and disjointed. After the children collect the pennies and have their party, they send the pennies to hurricane victims. The main character then wonders what the victims will buy with her pennies. This struck me as very odd and a dark tone to close out an otherwise fun book. I like to discuss books with my daughter after we read them and ending on hurricane victims leads to that conversation. Although I like the charity aspect, it's not like the people are going to go buy legos. I suppose it could lead to conversations on basic needs haha.
In summary, the book it very interesting and can only lead to other very interesting conversations.

Mrs. Madoff's class is counting pennies -- one for every day of school. When they get to 10 pennies, they know they've been going to school for 10 days. What will happen when they get to 100? How will they celebrate Day 100, and what will they do with their 100 pennies?
