So why does Karter arrive dressed as a FOOT!?

"Children will laugh over the hilarious ending; indeed, they'll giggle their way through this uproarious book-and perhaps realize that learning to be a bit flexible can be a lot of fun. A perfectly entertaining read." Kirkus Reviews
"Not only is it nice to a see a boy doing the party-planning, but it's good to see a child being a fusspot in a low-stakes situation, since that's where almost all childhood disappointments start." - School Library Journal
