Gaspard and Lisa's Christmas Surprise

32 pp. | Knopf | September, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-375-82229-1 $$9.95
(3) PS Illustrated by Georg Hallensleben. Gaspard and Lisa attempt to create the perfect gift for their teacher using the dubious combination of a shower curtain, Krazy Glue, and yellow dye. Lisa's calm narration is an amusing contrast to the frantic scenario; the textured, rich-toned illustrations are accomplished; and the surprise ending--the raincoat may not fit their teacher but it fits her dog--is grand.
