The recipe for babyberry pie? "First you pick a baby / From the babyberry tree-- / One who's sweet, / A cuddly treat-- / And bring him home to me." As evening comes, Dad "picks" a toddler from his tree swing and carries him inside to Mom. Schwartz's affectionate, cozy illustrations and Frederick's bouncing text create a satisfying bedtime snack.

Gabby gets a short haircut and meets her grandfather at Central Park to ice skate in celebration of his birthday. The endearing characters from 'The Purple Coat' remain likable, but the story meanders without much focus. The delicate paintings set the story in a time when ladies wore gloves for shopping trips to the city and a hat box was a necessary accessory.
