(2) K-3 Hoping to earn enough to buy a bike, a girl with little brother in tow embarks on moneymaking gambits. Her early attempts--lemonade stand, toy sale, couch cushion searches--come to naught...and then there's a twist. The muted color palette and retro touches complement the old-fashioned tone of this wordless book. The spare illustrations offer a surprising wealth of narrative nuance.
