Penny and her marble

This afternoon I got my hands on an ARC of Penny and Her Marble and I am delighted and cannot wait to add a real copy to my shelves in the new year. Kevin Henkes books are awesome and the Penny books are just plain fabulous. As very early chapter books I have yet to find anything just quite as excellent and the Penny books are excellent. Lyrical and full of a great moral lesson, Penny finds a marble and as a reader one must decide if it really is her marble for the keeps. Henkes tells a story that will get right at the conscience of an early reader and open discussion on theft and possession. This is a great example on keeping things truthful and I am delighted hat such books exist to share with my girls as they grow into readers.

We love Penny and Her Doll and I'm certain we will love any other Penny readers to come.

Thanks to HC for providing an ARC.
Typed on Kindle Fire.
