This book would be very useful for kindergartners and other young children who are learning how to count as well as learning how various coins are related. Pictures of the coins are shown with their mathematical relationships in both number and word format. A page often contains rhyming sentences and questions about the coins illustrated on it. The counting of the coins is accurate, and most of the pictures are of the actual coins, although some are enlargements. the son of a foreign student who once stayed in my household also found the book to be useful. He had just arrived from West Africa and wanted to quickly learn about U.S. coins. This book provided him with the information he wanted in a very understandable way. I recommend the book for its intended audience of young children who are learning about money and want to practice their counting skills.

Symbols for addition and equivalency are inserted as captions for counting up the coins in the illustrations. The clarity and simplicity of images and text make this an outstanding book for students pre-k through second grade.
