Jenny's mom is having a birthday and Jenny wants to give her something really nice--like a fur coat. There is a small problem--she only has twenty-seven cents. Even if her friend, Wilson, lends her his life savings of three dollars and change, she still won't have enough. What to do? Get a job.
When Jenny's first venture, as a dog trainer, falls through, she decides she can baby sit and make enough money. Babysitting for money is harder than just playing with her baby cousin, though. And, it might just cost her a pet goldfish.
This is a cute story about a little girl misunderstanding statements about her family's finances and her creative ways of making money. Children, ages five to eight, will enjoy Jenny and her friend.
Armchair Interviews says: The charm and humor of this book will have readers looking for others in the Jenny Archer adventures series.
