How to Behave at a Tea Party

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Heather Ross. A girl named Julia describes, practically through gritted teeth, the proper way to act at a tea party; subterfuge-filled illustrations show her brother and young neighbors doing everything they can to thwart her perfectionism. Julia's voice isn't convincingly childlike, but the message is solid: as Julia realizes by book's end, her propriety is as extreme as the party crashers' behavior.
