Aunt CeeCee, Aunt Belle, and Mama's Surprise

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Chesworth. Although Mama says she doesn't want any birthday fuss, her daughter, a "take-charge kind of girl," plans a party with her slapdash aunt CeeCee and her nitpicking aunt Belle. Hilarious chaos reigns right up to the last minute when Daddy arrives with a very surprised Mama. Art nouveau style illustrations, using dialogue balloons, set the story in the roaring twenties.
