Gabby Growing Up

32 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-80573-X
(4) K-3 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.
