Introduction

Mr. Penny owns our favorite kind of store - a toy store.  He needs lots of help counting  his toys  and he asked you to help..

Every time you count right, Mr. Penny will award you with a penny.  After you have

five pennies, you can buy yourself a toy and put it away into your toybox.

You can look at your toybox whenever you want and play for as long as you like.

The more you count, the more toys you will get.

Thanks for helping Mr. Penny!
