Lester's Overnight

the long version

Lester was spending his first night away from home. And what a difference between Auntie Belle's house and the one where he lived. Not only did she have broccoli instead of carrot sticks and purple soap instead of white soap — there was a tiger in the living room and a good knight upon the house! But what Lester minded most was that there was no mother and no father at Auntie Belle's. Any child who has or is about to experience pangs and the fun of a first "overnight" will take Lester's story to heart — and want to hear its reassuring happenings read many times.
