<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>What do you wear to a dress-up party? Here are some ideas!<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>John and his friends come together for a party, using the everyday things around them to construct inventive costumes on the spot. Pots and pans, an empty soap box, your mother's clothes--these are all things you can wear to a dress-up party! Playing dress-up is a way to be a new self and to imagine for a moment that you are different from who you really are. It's a way to be extravagant or silly, a way to surprise yourself and have a great time!<br>Written by the prolific and beloved Remy Charlip, <i>Dress Up and Let's Have a Party</i> is a clever, playful reminder that the potential for fun is always at hand. Originally published in the United States in 1956, <i>Dress Up and Let's Have A Party</i> was his first book.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Decked out in his mother's pots and pans while she bakes a cake, John is inspired to ask his friends to come to his party in costume -- and we wait with him to see what they'll be wearing when, at the turn of the page, they come through the door. No dullards here: a carton on the street turns Hans into a special delivery package; a ball of string makes Vera a meatball covered with spaghetti. The final surprise comes when John carries in the cake, with the single word happy visible. In Charlip territory, nothing is all spelled out.--<i>The Horn Book</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Remy Charlip</b> was the writer and illustrator of such beloved children's books as <i>Dress Up and Let's Have a Party</i> and <i>Fortunately!</i>, in addition to being an artist, choreographer, teacher, and founding member of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. He was a graduate of Cooper Union, where he studied fine arts. Charlip viewed his wide-ranging artistic endeavors as similar in spirit, calling them all forms of "internal dance." He wrote or illustrated dozens of children's books, winning three <i>New York Times</i> Best Illustrated Books awards and a first prize for illustration at the Bologna Book Fair.
