K-Gr 2–Parker is back, and this time she’s hosting a sleepover with new and old friends. Together with her mom, Parker carefully plans the event, decorates the space, selects the perfect snacks, and organizes a variety of fun games. When her friends arrive, she eagerly introduces them to one another, and the excitement begins. They enjoy snacks, make friendship bracelets, build a fort, and play board games. Dinner consists of pizza and cupcakes followed by an attempt to stay up all night making shadow animals with flashlights. Despite their best efforts, they eventually drift off to sleep. Text is accessible for young readers and captures the excitement of a sleepover with friends. Pastel backgrounds enhance the realistic expressions of the characters. Jackson and Keith pay close attention to details, even depicting one of the children drooling in their sleep.
VERDICT A delightful book about a sleepover with friends, this is a wonderful addition to any collection, especially for fans of other “Parker Curry” books.
