Illustrated by
Chuck Groenink.
Rufus decides to set up a "story stand" for the summer. As each customer stops by, Rufus writes and illustrates a story unique to that person, with entertaining results; as payment he asks for a shell from the beach, a kitten, and a surprise. This quiet story celebrates creativity and generosity. Mixed-media art in a rich palette includes Rufus's illustrated stories.
