Being Four is Never a Bore

In Being Four is Never A Bore our Birthday Girl is wanting to celebrate her fourth birthday, which is the next day, with a big party, but she explains, "We just moved into this really, really nice place; green fields, rolling hills, and lots of open space. I haven't had time to meet anyone to invite. I don't even know someone who I might." She asks her big sister for her help. Her sister has met only one kid since moving to their new home, a boy named Pete who lives across the street. From there the adventure grows as the girls meet more neighborhood children that want to join in for some birthday fun. The children end up taking a boat ride to a beach along a blue river where they have a wonderful time telling jokes in a treehouse, swinging from a swing tied to a tree, eating cupcakes and drinking lemonade. Colorful illustrations enrich throughout this delightful poetic journey.
