If you’ve ever given an imp a penny, then you know how outrageous things can get. If you haven’t…consider yourself warned! In this vibrant new story from the writer and illustrator behind Monster Goose Nursery Rhymes, a well-meaning imp needs one tiny favor. But sometimes even the smallest of good deeds can lead to huge accidents! When he tries to help you clean house, this clumsy imp will leave everything messier than ever. And once he’s done burying his money bag for safekeeping, your yard might never be the same. With colorful illustrations right out of a fairy tale and a story that will get the whole family laughing, this book is a must-have for every lover of fantasy.

Hott Review:

When You Give an Imp a Penny is absolutely adorable!
What I liked: I really enjoyed the verse and the illustrations are amazing! I read it through three times myself and then shared it with the kids!
I think this book will be loved mostly by boys, it certainly reflects my boys impish nature and will have them laughing at the binds in which the little imps finds himself.
What I didn’t like: I can’t wait for more!
