C.M. Harris's picture book story, A Penny In My Pocket, is a clever look at money, financing, and making hard decisions on what is more important to purchase. It's also a compassionate look at charity and caring for those less fortunate. Money issues are difficult for young people to grasp, especially if they live in a home where they have just about everything they need and more. The author has carefully approached this issue by taking young Stevie on a shopping excursion with his Mommy and fielding his questions in the same way the young reader might challenge their parents. Stevie's Mommy is careful how she answers him, making him think deeply about the consequences of his money-spending decisions. Beautifully illustrated and told with care and compassion, this is a story that will both warm hearts and educate young readers to value their money and to consider helping those less fortunate. -Reviewed by Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite
