Editorial Reviews
“Both parents and children will delight in characters’ quirky one-liners and the surprise ending—the greatest party of all. A tale of generosity and friendship best paired with cake, of course.” —Booklist
“Georgie is pretty doggone adorable . . . definitely a charmer.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Chan's ink-and-watercolor illustrations are full of playful details to enjoy, and her animals' anxious expressions and lumpy-lanky bodies create a cast of friends who can be idiosyncratic and insecure, yet are confident to be themselves.” —Publishers Weekly
“A fun and endearing offering for cake and pickle lovers everywhere and party-loving friends to share.” —School Library Journal
“Young readers will delight at tracing Georgie’s path through the aerial-view illustration of the Brooklyn-ish neighborhood, and readers of all ages will enjoy the pleasing illustrations.” —Examiner.com
