An important part of learning to count is learning about money -- and this book with its optional accompanying Play Money Pack is a great starter. The book describes the paper dollar in detail. Next come all the coins that can be used to make a dollar -- the penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and half dollar. Children are shown coin combinations and the ways they can add up to a dollar. Along the way, kids learn fundamental facts about United States currency -- for instance, that George Washington appears on the dollar bill, and that the number 1 or the word one is printed on the bill a total of 16 times. There are also notes about others who appear on coins -- Roosevelt, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Kennedy.
