Review: Penny and Her Doll


Penny and Her Doll
Penny and Her Doll by Kevin Henkes

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



As an early reader, this book presents a basic problem and solution structure. The middle part where everyone is offering their own names for the doll reminded me of Beskow's Rumpelstiltskin. Henkes' mice are cute, and he is in full control of this franchised style. White space breaks up small passages of text within small chapters to make it more approachable for a young reader.

More animals that don't use any animal traits.
