Alvin Ho: Allergic to Birthday Parties, Science Projects, and Other Man-made Catastrophes by Lenore Look
There's nothing scarier than a birthday party in the third book in a hilarious chapter book series that tackles anxiety in a fun, kid-friendly way. Perfect for both beginning and reluctant readers, and fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid!Alvin Ho, an Asian American second grader, is afraid of everything. For example, what could possibly be so scary about a birthday party? Let Alvin explain-
. You might be dressed for bowling . . . but everyone else is dressed for swimming.
. You could get mistaken for the pinata.
. You could eat too much cake.
. You could throw up.
So when Alvin receives an invitation to a party-a girl's party-how will he ever survive?
A humorous and touching series about facing your fears and embracing new experiences-with a truly unforgettable character-from author Lenore Look and New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Honor winning illustrator LeUyen Pham.
