Alvin Ho - Allergic to Birthday Parties, Science Projects, and Other Man-Made Catastrophes
Here's the third hilarious chapter book in the series about Alvin Ho, a boy who's afraid of everything. For example, what could possibly be so scary about a birthday party? Let Alvin Ho explain: You might be dressed for bowling . . . but everyone else is dressed for swimming. You could get mistaken for the pinata. You could eat too much cake. You could throw up. So when Alvin receives an invitation to a party--a girls party--how will he ever survive?

Courtney's Birthday Party
Yes, this book is about a birthday party and best friends. This book also tells the truth as it deals with the topic of prejudice among neighbors. It is an excellent, simple story about a little girl whose mother will not let her invite her best friend to her party because she is black. It is a simple story that helps to introduce the concept of prejudice and how it hurts the children who do not understand the differences, unless their parents teach it to them.

The Moomins and the Great Flood
The Moomins and the Great Flood (in the original Swedish it is The Little Trolls and the Great Flood) is a book written by Finnish author Tove Jansson in 1945. It was the first book to star the Moomins during the end of World War II, but is often seen as a prequel to the main Moomin books, as most of the main characters are introduced in the next book.
