Counting Money

A small book, written for early learners, it’s got color photos illustrating the two sentences per page which describe what coins the child in the picture has, and how much cents that equals.  It’s broken into chapters by type of coin. It’s got other text features of non-fiction books (table of contents, glossary, index). It’s not that it’s a bad book.  It’s just that there’s not much practical point to it:  no child is going to choose it for the fun of reading, and it’s not particularly necessary as a teaching tool, as actual money that children can handle would work better, so I don’t know that teachers would find the book particularly helpful.
