Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Itâs Aliceâs birthday! But her friend Gertrude seems to have forgotten. No matter, Alice goes out and enjoys her day just the same. A beautiful spring afternoon in Paris  what could be better? Little does she know that her dear friend has a few surprises up her sleeve.
While Alice spends the day walking around Paris  riding a carousel in the park and watching a puppet show  Gertrude turns her attention to the kitchen. She is determined to make a lavish dinner with all of Aliceâs favorite things and write a poem to match the occasion.
But the lure of the perfect poetic line proves to be too distracting, and just as Aliceâs day takes an exciting and unexpected turn, Gertrudeâs big dinner falls all to pieces. The poem turns out beautifully, of course, but the house is a bit of a mess. Itâs a good thing Alice doesnât mind cleaning up. And that she has such a good brownie recipe for their guests.
Inspired by the lives of artist Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Monica Kullingâs warm and whimsical narration is perfectly balanced by Qin Lengâs bright and energetic illustrations. This is a sweetly joyful story of love, friendship and creative inspiration.
