Age: Preschool-1st grade
Emotion: Acceptance, letting go of controlling behaviors
Family: Older sister, younger brother

Julia decides to host a tea party but proper etiquette is hard to control with her little brother and two rowdy neighbors. When a tower of cups crash to the ground, Julia loses her temper and tells everyone to leave. But it's pretty lonely without them around and she invites her imaginative guests back and decides to play along with them. Although this is a great book for learning to cooperate with different personalities, it's interesting that the boys cannot for one moment play delicately along with Julia but she must conform completely to their wild behavior. Perhaps it's more of an age difference than a gender difference but the implications are there.
