10 for dinner

Margo invites 10 friends for her birthday dinner. 9 of them are perfectly normal, and the 10th is persistently... different. HE shows up an hour early. HE wants to play, instead of tag or hide-and-seek, "Double dirty no-hands blindfolded marbles". HE wears his halloween costume when everybody else is in the normal range of party clothes.

But he's the one who stays to help wash the dishes, too :)

I'm not sure why this is one of my favorites, but it sure is.

The story is about a little girl having a birthday party and she invites her ten friends. It talks about the all the activities that they do and how one of the guests is just a little bit different than the others. At the end of the book it shoes that even the kids that stands out the most can be just as worthy of a friend as the others.
