When George decides to save up for a special red train in the toy store, he doesn't realize how long it will take or how hard he will have to work for his money. But when the time finally arrives to take his very full piggy bank to the toy store, George loses it. Can this day, as well as George's earnings, be saved? Curious George Saves His Pennies has gentle lessons about counting, saving, what the different coins and dollar bills are, as well as the importance of sharing. And a punch-out coin bank at the back of the book lets kids put their newfound knowledge to work in saving their own pennies!
