Overview

A joyous celebration of the young and young-at-heart
Tonight's a special night. Robert is going to his first grownup party - a birthday celebration for Great-Gran Sadie, who is one hundred years old. Robert is so excited he feels like a firecracker about to go off. But once he arrives at the party, it's hard to remember what to do when. Don't do that! says Grandpa Jack. Don't do that! says Uncle Phil. Don't do that! says Cousin Sidney. But what will Great-Gran Sadie say?
How Robert discovers an unexpected kindred spirit comes to life in whimsical pictures that perfectly capture what it's like to be small in a world of adults. This is one party no one will ever forget.

It's always fun to see a child break away from stultifying rules and this one does it with charmingly child-like style. Karas's drawings are full of spirit, just like Robert and Great-Gran Sadie. -- Kirkus Reviews Children will identify and sympathize with young Robert. -- Booklist Cari Best and G. Brian Karas understand that bond between young and old . . . they capture the spirit, the alienation and the redemption of a 5-year-old on an outing for, by and about grown-ups. -- The New York Times Book Review Best zeroes in on both the joys of childhood and the bewilderment of kids being initiated in the rituals of adult life. -- Starred, Publishers Weekly<br> <br>
