Everything to Spend the Night From A to Z by Ann Whitford Paul, illustrated by Maggie Smith 1999Trying to decide what to pack for a sleep-over at Grandpa's house is quite a job. This young girl doesn't hold back, and her bag is overflowing with an item from each letter in the alphabet. As the story proceeds, Grandpa looks more and more exhausted, but his granddaughter's excitement heightens as she introduces each treat from her bag.
"And now a hairbrush for your hair.
Oops! Sorry, Grandpa-nothing's there."
Smith's illustrations are full of humor and detail, down to the bewildered cat who follows the main character across each scene. Grandpa's sweet girl has just enough energy to find a substitute for her lost pajamas before getting some shut eye.
This fun read may create some reassurance as your child goes to his or her first sleep-over.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
