Penny and her marble by Kevin Henkes was a cute story for example Penny found a shiny blue marble in Ms Goodwins garden and did not know if it was Ms Goodwins or if it was but Penny took it anyway .Then she she saw Ms. Goodwin out of her window and spent the whole afternoon with her mother.This is a good book for kids to read so they will lean to ask if the person wants it or not. In this story Penny took the marble without asking Ms Goodwin. If you like cute stories read Penny and her Marble.
