Little Old Ladies

(4) K-3 Translated by Kathryn Bishop. Whether going on outings, dancing, or whipping up some cookies, five friends show that little old ladies don't "just sit around all day feeding the ducks in the park." Tidy, studied illustrations feature funny repeated elements (one character always has her fishbowl nearby, another is never without her dangly red earrings), but this offbeat homage to seniors could do with a bit more plot.
