Steve Cox.
Pack rat Pinch loves stuff. Hoping for money to buy even more, he sells his collection at the neighborhood tag sale. However, he likes his clean house so much, he donates his profits to beautify the town. Though Pinch's turnaround is just a shade short of a miracle, the story's message is useful, and the mixed-media and digital illustrations are appealing.
