Are You Going to Be Good? (New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Books (Awards)) - Tapa dura

A joyous celebration of the young and young-at-heart
Tonight’s a special night. Robert is going to his first grownup
party – a birthday celebration for Great-Gran Sadie, who is one
hundred years old. Robert is so excited he feels like a firecracker
about to go off. But once he arrives at the party, it’s hard to
remember what to do when. “Don’t do that!” says Grandpa
Jack. “Don’t do that!” says Uncle Phil. “Don’t do that!” says
Cousin Sidney. But what will Great-Gran Sadie say?
How Robert discovers an unexpected kindred spirit comes to
life in whimsical pictures that perfectly capture what it’s like to
be small in a world of adults. This is one party no one will
ever forget.
