Patti Cake and Her New Doll

32 pp. | Scholastic/Orchard | January, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-24465-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 Since Patti has her "own new room," her babysitter (readers may wonder if Patti has parents) promises her a "new-room present," and at a store the next day Patti chooses a doll. Patti's narration is engaging, but the threads--coping with fear of the dark, protecting the doll from Patti's dog--seem slack. The illustrations exude calm, even during dog-initiated turbulence.
