I Really, Really Don't Like Parties

40 pp. | Crocodile | April, 2024 | Trade ISBN 9781623711146 $18.95
(3) K-3 After receiving a party invitation, Dora declares parties are “too loud and too busy.” The young girl thinks of several outrageous reasons to give for declining (a gorilla stealing her party outfit; a frog eating her shoe), but at her mom’s urging, she reluctantly attends. She finds the event chaotic, but when she meets another child with similar feelings, they find a quiet spot to enjoy the fun. Humorous and expressive hand-drawn and digital illustrations enhance a realistic portrayal of an introverted child’s feelings about socializing.
