You never know what you're going to need to pack when you're spending the night at Grandpa's house. The little red-haired girl in this exuberant, rhyming story needs quite a bit of this and that, from apples to the zipper on her overnight bag, and everything in between. "'Here's my Quilt. / I drape it down / and cut gold paper / into crowns. / Ta-daaaaaa! I'm Queen. / ...and you're my king. / I even brought a royal Ring,'" she pronounces, as Grandpa humors her with a deep bow. This all-day, nonstop grandpa-granddaughter party bounds along at a breakneck pace as she breaks out the drums, earmuffs, feather, gum, hairbrush, inchworm, jigsaw puzzle, and more: "My Music box will play the song. / Let's twirl and spin / and sing along. / I'm not tired, Grandpa. See! / I packed more / things for you and me." She thoroughly exhausts Grandpa and the black-and-white cat (whose antics are hysterical to watch throughout the day's shenanigans), but they are both very good sports--even when it turns out that, after all that packing, their little Queen forgot her pajamas. (Ages 3 to 7) --Karin Snelson
From Publishers Weekly
Asked to pack for even the briefest excursion, children invariably put in everything but the kitchen sinkAa proclivity that Paul (Hello Toes! Hello Feet!) and Smith (Counting Our Way to Maine) capitalize on with inexhaustible exuberance. Arriving at her grandfather's for a sleepover, a dynamo of a girl gleefully starts unpacking her duffel: "First some Apples we can share/ with Bunny and my fuzzy Bear./ They cry whenever I'm not home./ I couldn't leave them all alone." But this is no simple alphabetical show-and-tell. The heroine is one of those children who seems to be everywhere at once, always coming up with a new idea (especially in the name of delaying bedtime): paddling a boat that she's constructed from chairs, playing queen with her quilt. Grandpa gamely plays along, not even seeming to mind when the girl shows him "A Hairbrush for your hair," and then points out his bald pate. Rather than moving in a lockstep march to the progression of the alphabet, Paul's text has a wonderful loosey-goosey feel, with a consistently comic and plausible story line. Smith's strongly hued watercolors bounce with energy, and she endows the little girl with plenty of spunk. A skillful mixing of formats and perspectives and a playful use of type guarantee a whirlwind visual pace. Ages 2-7.
