(4) K-3 Illustrated by Greg Shed. One hot day, Molly encounters a girl called Miracle outside the store where they both want to buy an ice pop. Realizing Miracle doesn't have enough money, Molly secretly enlists Granddaddy's help. Soon the two new friends are sharing their treats. Though the realistic gouache paintings for this feel-good story sometimes look posed, they do evoke a bygone small-town summer.
