Age: 4 - 8 years
genre/subject: Children's Picture book
Plot Summary: Ned receives an invitation to a birthday party. He takes great measures to travel to this party, which puts himself in many sticky situations. Fortunately, luck is on his side, and he arrives at the party, only to learn that he is the guest of honor!
Evaluation: This is a very clever read. The way Charlip works a twist into the ending provides a level of sophistication for early readers. The artwork is vibrant, and somewhat rudimentary, which may be appealing to children readers.
Hook: This book was given to my daughter a couple weeks ago by an nanny she used to have. The Nanny wrote a beautiful inscription in the book, encouraging my daughter to pursue life no matter what the obstacles may be. I chose to include this in my database, because I think it is one of the finer children's books.
Significance & Bibliographic Usefulness: Vocabulary uses for children 4-8 years old. Also portrays the value in staying positive and anticipating a good turn in luck.
