neat story

Penny is a little boy who was adopted at birth. He becomes friends with a little boy from the orphanage. His parents really like him and invite him to join them on vacation. When the vacation is over Penny's parents decide to adopt Peter as well. This is book is all about the adventures that Penny and Peter have together. What did you like or not like about the book? The book is full of good old fashion fun. No violence or bad words are found in this book. Kids respect the adults as well. Would you recommend the book? Why or Why not? I would recommend this book to kids who are just starting out with chapter books. The chapters are not too long and not too short
