Michael's great-great-aunt Dew was a hundred years old, and she kept an old box filled with pennies, one for each birthday. Michael loved to sit at her feet and count out the pennies while Aunt Dew told the story behind each one. Michael's mother wanted to throw out the old box and buy a new one. But Aunt Dew said, "Anybody takes my hundred penny box, take me." And for his love for Aunt Dew, Michael knew he had to try to save the hundred penny box that contaiend all the stories of her life.

A sweet little story about Mike and his great-great-aunt Dew, this could be good for helping to explain aging (and mild dementia/forgetfulness/senility) to elementary-age kids. Dew has trouble sometimes keeping the past and present straight, but she knows the story of her life as told by her box of pennies, one for each year of her life.
