Illustrated by
Georg Hallensleben.
Lisa and Gaspard, childlike animals resembling stuffed toys, each star in a mild, pleasingly age-appropriate adventure: Lisa travels to New York (with the World Trade Center towers still intact) and gets lost; Gaspard goes to windsurfing camp and admits he can't swim. The painterly illustrations have a winning depth and texture, while the tone of the text is pitched just right. [Review covers these titles: Gaspard at the Seashore and Lisa in New York.]
