(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. In book four in this series, Iris looks forward to sleeping over at her best friend Walter's house. When the time comes, she has fun at first, but she eventually gets homesick and asks to go home early. Walter and the adults are very understanding, and Guest reassures readers that Iris does spend the night on another occasion. Spirited pen-and-ink illustrations showcase Iris's lively personality.
