Illustrated by
Genevieve Godbout.
After he finds a penny, Theodore experiences a day full of good outcomes: the weather improves, he succeeds at tetherball, etc. Readers expecting a twist of fate won't find one, but they'll witness a rousing example of generosity: having realized his good fortune, Theodore leaves the penny behind for someone else. The cheery colored-pencil illustrations have an ultra-gauzy look.
