(4) K-3 One morning, cheetah Sammy finds that "one of her five hundred spots was missing." The spot goes off on adventures (cleverly shown on a gatefold). When the spot returns home, their reunion suggests a changed relationship: "the spot smelled of...adventure. Sammy smelled of cocoa." The meaning of this story (first published in Sweden) will likely elude young readers, but homey illustrations add cozy appeal.
