A somewhat bland story tells what happens to Harry when Michelle invites him to her birthday party. Harry's buddies (who aren't invited) tease him, so he worries what they'll think if he attends. He also worries about not enjoying the party but ends up having a great time. Slawski's richly textured illustrations are quirky and upbeat.
