(4) K-3 Illustrated by Neil Stevens. London girl Dot shares a name and a birthday with her New Yorker grandmother. This book follows the younger as she tries to deliver a card; flip it to follow Grandma Dot as she travels westward through international cities to London for the big day. Nicely parallel story lines offset the gimmick-factor. Retro blue-and-red illustrations are adorable but for some old-fashioned cultural stereotypes.
