(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kathryn Brown. Six Russian nesting dolls sail to America to be sold at a toyshop. After the littlest, Nina, is lost, her "sisters" are purchased by a young girl. Nina's long journey from a dump truck to the paws of the young girl's cat is thrilling; the improbability of the dolls' reunion is half the fun. The text is as deft and reassuring as the gauzy, pastel-hued illustrations.
