(2) K-3 Illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark. In this riff on the jump rope chant, folklore characters burst through the protagonist's door; readers will notice that the guests, dressed to the nines (Chichester Clark clothes them in gorgeous fabrics), are carrying gifts and balloons. Author and illustrator capture the crazy joy of a surprise party while slyly acknowledging the anxiety that can come with being the center of attention.
