(4) K-3 Illustrated by Pat Cummings. When their grandmother suggests celebrating her birthday by reprising one of their summer outings, Laurie and J. Matthew have trouble choosing just the right destination. They've simply been stalling, though, and soon the extended family arrives for a surprise party. The story has little dramatic tension but plenty of warmth, which is mirrored in the illustrations, with their rounded shapes and cheery palette.
Reviewer: Maeve Visser Knoth
