(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marjorie Priceman. An off-stage narrator accompanies Gertrude Stein's talented friends throughout their day, leading to one of Stein's famous Saturday evening soirées. Swirling illustrations in gouache and ink capture the joie de vivre and energy of the Paris environs. Back matter presents biographical information about Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, Max Jacob, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Pablo Picasso. Beautifully done, but with questionable child-appeal.
Reviewer: Sheila M. Geraty
