The Magic Coin

Once upon a time, in a village under the sea, sneaky Al Caponefish steals a quarter from Oyster’s shop. But when he gets worried he’ll be caught red-handed (or red-finned?), he convinces Gentleman Johnny the sea turtle that it's a magic quarter, worth well over twenty-five cents. On and on the cycle goes, with one fish pawning off a quarter on the next … until the simple, kind Goldfish discovers the perfect use for it: returning it (inadvertently) to its home. Marije Tolman’s (Little Fox, Quill the Forest Keeper) signature, vibrant, mixed-media risographs give life to award-winning author Daan Remmerts de Vries’s charming modern fable.Author: Remmerts de Vries, Daan,author,Tolman, Marije,illustrator,Forest-Flier, Nancy,translator Contributors: Remmerts de Vries, Daan,author,Tolman, Marije,illustrator,Forest-Flier, Nancy,translator Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 3 Sep 2026 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Levine Querido Author/Director/Artist: Daan Remmerts de Vries Dimension (cm): 210x159x9 mm Package Dimension (cm): 9x208x159 mm Item Weight (g): 232 Package Weight (g): 230
