Mary's Penny

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Richard Holland. Mary's father, overlooking his daughter, promises the family farm to whichever of his sons uses a penny to "buy something that will fill the whole house." That Mary ultimately triumphs will be foreseen by readers; how she does it--by filling the house with light and music--will not. Meticulous mixed-media art employs subdued hues and subtle eye-pleasing patterns.
