Rosy could hardly wait! Grandmother had asked the girl cousins to take turns sleeping overnight at her house and helping her with cleaning the next day. But that night Rosy couldn’t sleep. To Rosy’s astonishment, Grandmother exclaimed, “I can’t go to sleep either! Let’s go out to the kitchen and make tea.” It was a midnight to remember as Grandmother and Rosy sipped their tea, crunched on party mix, and told stories.

Midnight Tea Party is a collection of twenty stories about eight-year-old Rosy. Did big brother Eddy really put a frog in the bread dough? Can Rosy sew a dress for baby Emily without Mother’s help? And will she finish her homework in time to go on a sleigh ride?
