Penny and Her Marble by Kevin HenkesSummary: Penny feels guilty after taking a beautiful blue marble that she sees in Mrs. Goodwin's grass, but gets a pleasant surprise when she goes to return it the net day.
My Thoughts: This is the second in a new series of beginning, easy readers by Kevin Henkes starring Penny. I liked this story with the challenge that Penny faces. She has to decide what to do with the shiny blue marble. Her decision bothers her for the rest of the day and overnight, but the reader will be pleased with the conclusion. This can just be a fun story for practicing reading or a spring board to a discussion about honesty and character.
