(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dusan Petricic. Katy has the flu, her mother is grumpy, and it looks like an awful day--until her mother's "grandmother doll" starts talking. The doll's magic turns Katy's homemade creations into working appliances, an enchanting idea for any child. While abrupt scene changes interrupt the pacing and the ink-and-wash illustrations occasionally look garish, the concept and plotting are satisfying.
