I love this rhyming story about forming friendships. Kids will love how everything is supposed to be perfect but goes horribly wrong.

A very sweet book about a girl named Abby who is nervous about having the "perfect" classmate over for tea. When Abby trips and makes a mess the friends end up having more fun. A good reminder that friends value the time spent together, not the material things.

Abby prepares the perfect tea party for her friend Phoebe. But everything goes horribly wrong, and Abby is worried that Phoebe will never want to come over again. However Phoebe might just surprise everyone!
I love the positive messages in this story that things don't have to be "perfect" for guests to have a good time and enjoy each other's company, and you don't need to worry about people judging you for your imperfections.
The story is told in rhyming text that is well-written, and a delight to read out loud!
The illustrations are so adorable! The girls are so cute, and I love the soft art style. There are tons of little details in the background of each scene, and special little cakes and flowers on the tea table.

Abby wants everything to be perfect for the upcoming tea party. She washes the dog, sets the table and puts on her fanciest accessories. When one little accident spoils the elegance, will Abby be able to recover enough composure to still have fun?
Having celebrated many a tea party with a certain little perfectionist, I know how difficult it can be for children to accept that things don't always go according to plan. Learning to Improvise is a great life skill, and I'm delighted that this book shares it so well.

I can't even imagine how stoked Abby's parents must've been to land her a playdate with Phoebe D! I found Abby's anxiety/perfectionism to be incredibly realistic and I loved how Phoebe was ready to go with the flow no matter what happened. They're both rad and I hope they have a long and lovely friendship.
