K-3Bright and Early Book series.
Illustrated by
Scott Nash.
The narrator goes through the alphabet, inviting everyone from Alice to Zipper--but not Hooper Humperdink--to his birthday party. As the party balloons in the narrator's imagination, he has a change of heart and invites Hooper after all. Nash's drawings present Hooper's loneliness without losing the story's lightheartedness.
