A little girl repeatedly tries to crash the fabulous party she feels sure her parents throw every night after she goes to bed, but finally gives up and hosts her own celebration in her dreams. Uncomplicated cartoon artwork in colors as brash as the young narrator herself boosts the text's humor with whimsical details, such as the animated ducky slippers accompanying the girl on her quest.
