(2) K-3 Illustrated by Qin Leng. It is Alice Babette's birthday, and her friend Gertrude is planning a surprise dinner. While disaster is being brewed (but poetry written), Alice takes herself for a day out. Adult fans of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas can nudge each other at the story's allusions; all can enjoy the airy illustrations of Paris in April and the affectionately funny portrait of a legendary friendship.
