Toni's Topsy-Turvy Telephone Day

32 pp. | Abrams | May, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-8109-4486-3 $$15.95
(4) K-3 When Toni phones her friends with plans for a potluck supper, it's so noisy that nobody hears her correctly. Everyone brings the wrong contribution--"a pooch and a maid," for example, instead of "punch and lemonade." The story is amusing, though it could use some tightening. In her energetic illustrations, Ljungkvist makes creative use of geometric shapes and a continuous black line.
