Penny the Pelican Plans Ahead: A Tale of Saving Smart

Written and illustrated by Alexandra Bono

I loved this lovely, illustrated rhyming book that offers children wonderful life lessons.

Penny the Pelican is thrilled to learn that her mother is expecting. She decides to plan by thinking not only about today’s needs, but also about saving and investing for the future. So Penny gathers resources in three piles.

The illustrations are large and appealing, the alliterative rhymes crisp and sharp. Lessons include kindness, family love, goal setting, and financial literacy

I highly recommend this fun read-aloud for children ages three and older.

A simple picture book that explores the developmental stages of birth through adulthood for boys. It begins with birth. Each spread contains a beautiful illustration and a sentence. The cycle moves through toddler, preschool, youth, and teenage years to adulthood. The last stage will likely lead to marriage, pregnancy, and the head of a new family.

It makes an ideal gift for a baby shower or a new family. Parents and grandparents can enjoy and reminisce.
