(2) K-3 Illustrated by Denis Roche. As a girl and her brother walk to the grocery store, we are introduced to her internal map of sights, sounds, and smells. The rhythmic, rhyming text uses pleasing repetition; the childlike gouache paintings provide a subtext: at the beginning, we see the parents preparing a birthday surprise. When the children return home, there are presents, cake, and guests, whom careful observers will recognize from previous pages.
