(3) K-3 Opening with a polite hand-written invitation, the story reads as an ultra-proper etiquette guide to hosting a tea party ("Take turns making small talk"; "cater to the individual tastes of your guest"). Hilariously, the illustrations show the real story as Cordelia's honored guest is a T. rex whose enormity, terrible manners, and messiness make the dainty tea party a ruckus.
