What If... ', Hardcover/Anthony Browne

Young worriers will relate to and be comforted by this tale of a boy s anxiety as he heads to his first big party. What if Joe doesn t like the party he s going to? What if he doesn t like the food or the games or the people? As Joe and his mom walk down the darkening street, Joe s imagination starts to run wild. And as they search for the right place, he wonders "what if . . ." at each house, peeking in to see some surprising sights. From the award-winning former British Children s Laureate Anthony Browne comes a picture book whose slyly bewitching setup unfolds to a reassuring ending."
