Illustrated by
Nicole Tadgell.
Passing by a furniture store window, Marshall sees a large jar filled with beans. The person who guesses the number of beans gets a sewing machine, and Marshall is determined to win it. He applies the estimating skills he has learned at school with happy results. Soft watercolor paintings show a working-class African American family in a 1930s small-town setting.
