I Am Invited to a Party, written and illustrated by Mo Willems. Hyperion, H B Fenn. $9.99 ages 3 and up


"Will you go with me?
I have never been to a party.
I will go with you.
I know parties."

Piggie is so pleased when Elephant agrees to accompany her to the party. They are ecstatic to share the experience. Then, when Elephant thinks more seriously about the upcoming fete, he becomes quite apprehensive. He wonders about the type of party it will be. He assures her that they will be ready, no matter what! Elephant knows a party and he knows what they must do. Piggie is satisfied and trusts her friend.

They try fancy, then fancy pool, then fancy pool costume....they will be READY!
Imagine their surprise when Elephant proves that he does indeed knows parties! Their attendance is welcome and in keeping with the rest of the guests. Life is just as it should be for our partygoers.

Kids will love the zipping and zapping as Piggie and Elephant move in and out of our vision in preparation, adding elements to the clothing they plan to wear. They will join in the celebration as the excitement grows and laugh at the antics of the two invitees. And, they will want to read it themselves and then read it again.
