Children and their parents will be delighted with this witty collection of letters written by famous storybook characters eagerly anticipating Goldilocks's birthday party and the Three Little Pigs' housewarming (which keeps getting postponed as the wicked wolves wreak havoc on first a straw and then a stick house).

Molly Pepper plays with Franklin P. Shuckles all summer long. But when school starts, she hears the other children making fun of him and an embarrassed Molly dumps her “geeky” friend with a nasty note. When Franklin stops offering to play and tell stories, a lonely Molly realizes how much she misses him. She writes him another note, fervently hoping he’ll forgive her. He does, and they promise to be friends forever.

A child's question prompts another's alphabetic reveries in this invitation to consider the many things and places to read: an atlas at the airport, a biography in bed…..In page-sized cartoons, Enright follows her smiling young bookworm from place to place, showing her reading alone and with company; indoors and out, up a tree, even in a Jacuzzi. Serving as a reminder to parents too, that reading opportunities are all around, this presents an engaging literary game likely to continue well beyond one pass through the ABCs.
