I can see that we're not the only ones finding 'The Garden Party' something very special.We highly recommend this book to you.In fact, we find many of Collier's books simply enchanting. He writes for different age levels and that's something we have in abundance in our household.This is one of his picture books for 4 to 6 years of age, but it is also fine for 7 and even 8 year olds because of what he calls his rhyming prose style. Another picture book we love is ‘Snow Alligators’.The beginning and early readers in our family love his OUR TOWN book collection, the most recent book being 'Lou and Stu'.There's something relaxing and even magical about reading his bedtime books that are only interrupted by the occasional chortle. It's like being transported to a time when stories were new, not something that's only a revision or adaptation of another story.
