But EVERYONE else in his class is invited to Max's birthday sleepover, so his mom invites Sam too. <p/> Sam is just as strange at the party as he is at school: he's wary of the full moon, prefers his hamburgers rare, and can't help but bite the other kids during an innocent game of Twister. But despite his initial hesitation, Max discovers that what makes us different is actually what makes us special, and that new friends can come in all shapes, sizes, and species . . . <p/> This charming and pitch-perfect story will teach young readers all about the excitement of making new friends, and learning from our differences.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Barnaby's text hits just the right notes, from Max's initial uneasiness about Sam to his joyful acceptance of his friend's differences....Good fun." --<i>Booklist </i> <p/> "Delicately lined ink illustrations, supplemented by gradient watercolor washes, are reminiscent of classic picture books....An endorsement of moving past uncertain first impressions--and accepting people despite, or because of, their idiosyncrasies."--<i>Publishers Weekly </i> <p/> "Some well-written, lightweight fun with a little deductive reasoning thrown in. Recommended for large collections."--<i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Hannah Barnaby</b> has worked as a children's book editor, a bookseller and a writing instructor.
