A party gives a children’s book everything it needs before the first guest arrives: anticipation, rules, food worth arguing over, and a roomful of characters who cannot all behave at once. Invitations go astray, dragons meet the salsa, a sleeping bear misses the commotion, and somebody always has a suspiciously good reason for standing near the vanished cake.
