From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-A day in the life of a newly minted quarter, featuring George Washington sporting a rose-colored hair ribbon. The coin has quite an adventurous day; from the Federal Reserve, it makes its way to a local bank where it is picked up by a grocer for his store. The escapade continues-George ends up in such diverse places as a soda machine, piggy bank, toy store, parking meter, pet store, clothes washer, and garage sale, and finally back to the bank. Whew! Along the way, math problems flow naturally through the drama. Checking out at the market, the customer's total comes to $19.75. The audience is persuaded to figure out that the change from a $20 bill equals 25 cents. And so on. Leedy does not worry over bothersome details like sales taxes. Other coins and paper bills are briefly introduced. A "More About Money" section and a list of money words are appended. Leedy's sense of humor, fun, and the absurd shine through here. The large type is all over the place with dialogue and thought balloons and text vying for readers' attention. Cartoon illustrations keep the plot moving along at a steady clip. This is a wonderfully amusing, inviting, and useful title.
