I Want a Party!

October 1, 2011

PreS-Gr 2-Little Princess is back, and she wants a party even though it is not her birthday or Christmas. So, she spends the week writing her invitations, making a delicious cake and Jell-O mold with Cook, practicing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, and decorating. She gets all dressed up...but nobody comes. Alas, she forgot to actually mail the invitations. Not to worry, however. A knock at the door reveals that her best friend has arrived to invite Princess to her party the following week. No need to waste all those decorations and cake, however. Little Princess and her best friend have a fabulous party while looking forward to the one next week. Ross's illustrations are produced in colorful ink and watercolors. The whimsy and simple story line will appeal to young children.-Roxanne Burg, Orange County Public Library, CA
