by Ed Shankman (Author), Dave Frank (Illustrator)
This book is your child's passport to the ultimate children's party. Every detail of the book, and the party itself, has been designed with a child's favorite things in mind. You'll find sandboxes everywhere, and fields to play ball in, and places to hide in, and places to crawl in, and places to lie in, and places to fall in, and one that I'm sure you will feel very tall in. The party in Kalamazoo reveals itself through easy, playful rhymes and bright, whimsical illustrations that delight children and parents alike. You'll meet puppies and ponies and marionettes. That's the kind of excitement that no one forgets! Best of all, you and your child can attend the party in Kalamazoo again and again - on rainy days, at bedtime, and whenever else you like - for as long as this book remains a cherished part of your child's collection.
