Have you ever been not invited?
Minnie's good friend Charles names his pet mealworm after her. So why doesn't he invite her to the party at his house this coming Saturday? Hopeful at first (the invitation will definitely come tomorrow, she tells herself), Minnie is a wreck by week's end.
"No invitation, no party, no nothing," she moans, feeling as everyone feels at on time or another: unhappily left out. But come Saturday morning, Minnie is delighted to learn why she's not invited - this story's sweet surprise ending!
Diana Cain Bluthenthal knows how to be a comfort - to Minnie or anybody - with a story and pictures that are funny as well as true to life.
