Zuzu's Wishing Cake

32 pp. | Houghton | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-618-64640-X $16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by D. B. Johnson. Using easy-to-find supplies, Zuzu creates things--a telescope, sunglasses--for a morose-looking new neighbor, but it's her "wishing cake" that finally makes the boy smile. The wishing cake seems like an arbitrary change agent; the strength of this inventive book is Zuzu's creativity, shown through Johnson's unmistakable gauzy and geometric art, and presented here in a comic-strip-style layout complete with dialogue balloons.
