Great Joy by Kate DiCamillo illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline*

Frances notices an organ grinder and his monkey out on the cold street playing music.  She wonders where they go each night.  One night she forces herself to stay awake and sees them huddled against a city building.  On the night of her pageant, she invites the organ grinder and his monkey to her pageant.
Sweet ending with "great joy!".
Strategy: check for understanding, inferring (character traits and feelings)
