Send the invites, set the table, and prepare for all types of guests in author- illustrator Katie Vernon's rollicking good time picture book, We're Having a Party (for Everyone!).

How do you host a party for a chipmunk, a ghost, a vampire, an astronaut, a giraffe, a robot, a tooth, an octopus, a rockstar, a T. rex, a queen, Gramps, Paw Paw, and Bigfoot? Lana has a few tips for her nervous pup, Lemon, on how to make sure their first dinner party is a total success! First you must take guests' coats, thank those who bring gifts, and, most importantly, invite everyone to dance (after dessert, of course).

Bursting with color and quirky illustrations, We're Having a Party (for Everyone!) teaches young readers about social etiquette, accommodating others, and how much fun goes into planning a shindig. With funny details on every page and an imaginative double-twist ending, young readers will be eager to host an amazing dinner party of their own.

      How do you throw a dinner party? Young Lana has some ideas. "Lemon, are you excited to host our first dinner party? Lemon? Lemon, where are you?" Lana sits on a bed in a bedroom filled with toys. Lemon the dog, however, hides under a pile of clothes and blankets. Lana reassures the pup that hosting a party is nothing to be afraid of and suggests ways to make every guest feel welcome. Lana and Lemon will have a blanket ready for Gramps, who's been known to fall asleep during dinner. The pair will be sure to introduce guests who have things in common: the astronaut and the Viking; Bigfoot and the ghost. Lana and Lemon will even provide eight napkins for the octopus and extra-long straws for the giraffe and the T. rex! Throughout the planning, the party itself, and the cleanup, Lana offers basic tips on party etiquette (take guests' coats and hats, thank anyone who's brought a gift). Childlike, mixed-media illustrations are brimming with clever details; many of the toys in the first spread will eventually be life-sized guests in the child's vivid imagination, and the endpapers feature handwritten invitations and thank-you notes. Lana has pinkish-tan skin; Gramps is brown-skinned and has a hearing aid, while his partner, Paw Paw, is lighter-skinned. Human guests are diverse. Whimsical warmth. (Picture book. 4-6)
