Kindergarten Luck

Description

What makes a lucky day? One gloomy morning Theodore found a bright, shiny penny on the way down to breakfast. There was Abraham Lincoln, face up. What luck! 'Oh THANK you, Mr. Famous President!' Theodore said. And he tucked that shiny, new penny in his pocket. Follow Theodore through a day bursting with the simple joys and endless verve of young children-a reminder of how much luck there is in the world, and how sometimes, it's just waiting for you to find it.
