Vegbooks is a resource for parents and teachers who want to support the vegan and vegetarian kids in their lives.Penny instantly loves the doll her grandmother sends her, but finding the perfect name for her is a challenge. Highly recommended and fun to read aloud, together, or alone. The mice in all of Kevin Henkes’ books of course eat cheese. In Penny and Her Marble there is an illustration depicting eggs involved in cookie making but in the same book Penny’s dinner is shown as being just bread, peas, and salad. In Penny and Her Doll, for example, gardening features heavily. I love the details about the little mice and their world and feel that these would be a great choice for veg families. The books are charming, beautifully illustrated, and feature stories children can relate to. Her conscience eased, Penny can truly enjoy her discovery. When she returns the marble to where she found it, her neighbor tells her she placed the marble there in hopes that someone would find it and enjoy it. In Penny and Her Marble, Penny find a beautiful marble but feels guilty for not making sure whether someone had lost it before she claimed it. In Penny and Her Doll, Penny can’t decide on a name for her doll until she stops worrying about it so much, at which point the name comes to her. When she finally gets to sing her song her family not only learns it but puts on a show with her in the living room. Worried that she will forget the words, she attempts to sing it to her family but has to wait until after the twins’ naps and dinner. In Penny and Her Song, Penny cannot wait to sing a song she has composed. They need not be read in any particular order but are: Penny and Her Song, Penny and Her Doll, and Penny and Her Marble. There are currently 3 books written & illustrated by Kevin Henkes in this series. So when a routine library search yielded new Henkes early chapter books I had high hopes and am happy to report the “Penny” mouse books do not disappoint! I could relate to the little mouse who loved her name until others teased her at school. We are big fans of Kevin Henkes’ books – I actually remember reading Chrysanthemum as a kid when it first came out in the early 1990s.
