One beautiful fall day, Fern opens her mailbox and finds an envelope. After much worrying about what it could possibly contain, her friend Fawn encourages her to open it. Inside, she finds an invitation to a super-special surprise at the museum -- but Fern doesn't like surprises! Luckily, Fawn offers to come with her to the party. What could possibly happen, he asks. Along the way, Fern voices her worries: What if they can't make it in time? What if they don't know anyone there? Fawn playfully follows his friend's way of thinking, while gently suggesting twists to her story and a fun new cast of characters -- the chipmunk who could show them a shortcut, the grumpy bear who could clear their path, the brave dentist who might treat the bear's toothache -- until at last they arrive, and Fern is able to enjoy the wonderful surprise happening around her. Marie Lafrance's delightfully dreamy illustrations bring the imagined world of Fern and Fawn to life in this super-special story about catastrophic thinking."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 650 0 $a Anxiety in children $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Parties $v Juvenile fiction. 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / Social Themes / Emotions & Feelings. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / Holidays & Celebrations / General. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Lafrance, Marie, $e illustrator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Fowles, Stacey May. $t Invitation. $d Toronto ; Berkeley : Groundwood Books : House of Anansi Press, 2023 $z 9781773066622 $z 9781773066622 $w (OCoLC)1329274452 941 $a 5 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20240430010711.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20231005010919.0 952 $l WFPC115 $d 20230615145658.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010531.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230505010349.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=29541E0CEB0A11ED895B35C65DECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
