(4) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Rátz de Tagyos. To help conquer his fear of school, raccoon Rory's parents plan a sleepover at Rory's aunt's house, about which he is equally nervous. Its success leaves Rory confident about meeting new challenges. Mitchard's text focuses more on Rory's overnight than the titular topic. Rátz de Tagyos's illustrations nicely balance anthropomorphism with murky nighttime raccoon's-eye views.
