Illustrated by
Sara Not.
A bossy girl explains the rules of her tea party to her guests but keeps being interrupted by rude "TOOT!"s. No one will confess to farting, and she is on the verge of canceling the party when she discovers that the teakettle is the tooter. The story is entertaining enough, but the illustrations, in an early-Disney cartoon style, are simultaneously bland and busy.
