K-3Ready-to-Read series.
Illustrated by
Vanessa Brantley Newton.
With Nathan Whitaker. Justin is nervous about seeing clowns in the parade. While he waits anxiously, he finds a colorful wallet. Tempted to keep it, he consults his siblings and ultimately does the right thing and returns it to the owner: a clown. Though accessible for new readers, the sappy story's lesson is overt; serviceable illustrations capture the energy of a parade.
