Illustrated by
Ulises Wensell.
Contrary to her fantasies, orphan Carlota's terrific new parents don't turn out to be pastry chefs, pirates, etc., but they do bring her yummy pastries and pretend to dig for buried treasure. The light-handedness of the storytelling belies the book's depth, and the domestic scenes of Carlota and her new family are as wondrous as the scenes she imagined.
