This is Cameron Pendergraft's fifth charming book and her first one not based on an animal story. When this book's main character turned nine years old, she was happy because that meant one special thing: her first time to have a sleepover with a friend at her own home. All little girls look forward to their first sleepover with glee. The excited girls took a bubble bath and ate pizza while they watched TV. They colored pictures and taped them to the playroom's walls for a collage of cats, houses, and flowers. They talked and read books. The author has captured their bubbling excitement in everything that they did. Though Natalie really wanted them to stay awake all night, you'll have to read the book to find out if the two friends managed to do that and to enjoy Mom's memorable, quirky bedtime story from when she was a girl. Hiccup! Cameron's book will give your little ones all the giggling and fun experiences of a sleepover and will bring back the fond memories of your first sleepover.
