Measuring Penny (Rise and Shine)

Love this book to teach math. Story is also interesting. Great purchase for kids.

Perfect book for young children to learn about measurement in such a fun way. I’m a teacher and kids are always delighted to see the different dogs and what it means to care for a pet... and learn about measurement at the same time!

This excellent book keeps my granddaughter busy for a long time measuring her own dog.Worth every penny!

I got this after one of my EDU professors read it to us when teaching us about measurement in the classroom. Great price! Very cute story and perfect way to teach measurement. It uses all different measurements too which I love! Will use in my classroom.

Very clever book for starting a math unit on measurement. I like how it used standard and non-standard units of measurement.

I have bought several of this book over the years, so that my teacher friends have a little something new to teach their students. Of course, having a sheltie/collie to measure adds a little extra for a sheltie and collie owner ;-)

This is a great way to introduce measurement to 2nd graders. Love the book and the activity that goes with it. I purchased on Teacherpaysteacher

I read this book aloud to my second graders. They loved it. It helped them understand standard and non standard unit of measurement.

This book not only entertains but also educates, making it a valuable addition to any home or classroom library. Whether read independently or enjoyed together as a family, "Measuring Penny" is sure to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong appreciation for the wonders of mathematics.

Story lacked depth however useful for friend's university childcare course.

I bought this book to embellish the measurement unit in my Grade 2 class. They loved Penny and the measuring adventures that I also found at TpT.

The book itself is awesome! Unfortunately it came damaged.
