Tea Party Rules

Ame Dyckman has done it again, Tea Party Rules is an adorable story of friendship in the most unlikely place. Cub smells something delicious and before he knows it, he has found a tea party…complete with cookies! When the little girl shows up, she teaches Cub the (many) rules one must follow at a tea party. Cub son tires of all the rules and ends up acting… well, like a bear! But soon the little girl and Cub are playing together in what becomes a friendship neither was expecting.

I fell in love with Dyckman’s work when I first read Boy + Bot. Her stories of friendship are so clear and tru, yet still fun and written for children, that you can’t help but love them! I am so excited to see what she comes up with next! For more information about Ame Dyckman, check out her website or follow her on Twitter. We can’t forget the illustrator who gave Cub the most amusing facial expressions as he gets doled up for the tea party. Campbell also just recently illustrated Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures written by Kate DiCamillo.
