Artist Jimmy Pickering—a creative force at both Universal and Disney Studios, and an illustrator whose storybooks have been called "imaginative...and endearing" ( School Library Journal ) and "clever" ( Publishers Weekly )—fashions wild and whimsical pictures that bring out all the fun in Robyn Parnell's unique tale. My closet threw a party And I heard it was a hit. The clean clothes played with stinky And my pants danced till they split. Just watch how happily the clothes will play—especially when they're all in a tangle and not put neatly away! In fun and fanciful verse and wacky, colorful pictures, a quite unusual party comes brightly to life in a little girl's cluttered closet and messy room. It's quite a sight, starting early in the night, and simply everyone is there. What with the sneakers leading a game of charades and the checkered flannel nightie cheerfully doing a cha-cha, it's a fest kids won't forget. But oh, when Mom comes in and finds a world of disorder and piles on the floor, who will clean it up?
