K-Gr 2-Two very different girls are the best of friends. One is loud, the other quiet. One's messy, the other neat. However, when each child spends the night at the other's house, she takes on the characteristics of the hostess. At one place, both girls wreak havoc with glue and glitter and water, while at the other they have prim and proper tea parties. As the boisterous narrator explains, "When you sleep at your best friend's house, you become just like her." The busy illustrations in bold colors are a bit gaudy and the title describes only half of the story, lending itself to some confusion. This is an adequate addition to beginning-reader collections, but not a necessary purchase.-Anne Knickerbocker, Cedar Brook Elementary School, Houston, TX Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
