Illustrated by
Mai S. Kemble.
Before Polka-dot's first day of kindergarten, fix-it king Grandpa gives her a fix-it kit, which comes in handy after she tussles with (implausibly nasty) classmate Liz. The germ of a good idea--Grandpa's influence sees Polka-dot through a rough patch--is hampered by some unconvincing dialogue. Watercolor, colored-pencil, and graphite illustrations show characters with Raggedy Ann–ish patches on their cheeks.
