Bookroo's summary

John's impromptu costume party transforms everyday items into imaginative outfits. As friends arrive, each with a unique twist, the night unfolds with unexpected creativity. What will they become next? Discover the joy of spontaneity and the magic of seeing the ordinary in extraordinary ways. From pots to carpets, every turn of the page reveals a new surprise, inviting readers to join the playful adventure and embrace the fun of being someone else, even if just for a moment.

From the publisher

John puts a pot on his head while his mother bakes a cake. The next thing we know, he invites his friends over for a costume party. What will they wear? With each page turn, we wait to see. Vera arrives tangled up in string, a “meatball covered in spaghetti.” And Sarah, as a mountain, inching across the floor under a carpet.

First published in 1956, Dress Up and Let’s Have a Party is a pleasing and thought-provoking book about impulse and ingenuity.
