Miss Opal's Auction

32 pp. | Holt | November, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-5891-5 $$16.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Graham. Annie watches Miss Opal's possessions being auctioned off before the elderly woman moves to an apartment, and she remembers the happy times they've spent together. Attractive oil paintings show the intergenerational companions baking, gardening, and making ice cream, as well as observing the sale of well-loved items. The gentle story celebrates a loving relationship and the bittersweet beginning of a new stage of Miss Opal's life.
