Surprises abound in Grandma and Me, a lift-the-flap board book by Karen Katz. Someone special is at the door. Who could it be? A big blue door on the opposite page opens to reveal It's Grandma! But there's more in store: lively pastels show a teddy bear in her suitcase and cookies baking in the oven. (Apr.)
