Everything To Spend The Night From A To Z

By Paul, Ann Whitford
Publication: Kirkus Reviews
Date: Monday, March 1 1999
An alphabetic chronicle of all the necessities for a sleepover is the foundation for this energetic tale about a young girl's visit with her grandfather. In sprightly rhyming verse, the child proudly displays her indispensable treasures, excavated from an overnight bag that is larger than she is. Items

such as Apples, stuffed sleeping pals Bunny and Bear, and Chalk to decorate the sidewalk share space with more mundane articles: Slippers, Toothbrush, and Underwear. Paul incorporates the alphabet into the text, with the featured letters highlighted in bold colors, while Smith's cheerful watercolors capture the child's boundless enthusiasm; they also adroitly convey the affectionate bond between grandfather and girl. Demonstrating keen understanding of a child's universe, this rollicking recitation is a delight.
