Caterina is a very organized little girl bird and is about to throw her first party.  Being organized means she has lots of lists.  She has lists of friends, food, decorations, and so on.  She is totally prepared for her first party when, of course, the only thing she cannot control happens–the weather.  But her friends show up and they have the best time ever.  The illustrations in this book are beautiful–each pair of pages has colorfully designed backgrounds, Caterina and her friends look to be typical illustrations maybe done in colored pencils, and then there are photos of real objects and textures and collages of different textures laid upon one another for depth.  To true enjoy this book, you need to look at the small stuff and how Kono gave her illustrations life.
