Agnes is new to town and wants to make friends, so she invites some girls in her class to a fancy tea party. When there is a knock at the door, she expects to see them--not Dave from next door. This isn't "The invitation says plus one. This means you need to bring a friend. And since you don't have a friend with you--goodbye." Agnes is sure that will be the end of that, but Dave is persistent, and before long he's bringing one friend after another as his plus one. But as the minutes pass and the other guests don't show up, Agnes is left with nothing but her tea set, watching Dave and his friends play tag. She works up the nerve to ask if she can join in and receives a resounding yes and when the original guests arrive (late because of soccer practice) everyone heads inside for tea, no species excluded.

School age picture book.
