Short children's chapter book about three eight-yr-old female friends who plan and throw their first sleepover party. But one friend gets homesick and has to go home. Nothing original but many girls in the targeted age group will relate to the characters and situation.

I thought that this was a very cute book. A lot of children can definitely relate to going to sleepovers and the experiences that they had when they went to them. I would definitely recommend this book.

This book was about three eight-year-old girls and their first sleep over. It was okay, but it's a topic that age group will definitely relate to. Would not use in a unit, but might keep it available in the classroom.
