Summary: I was invited to sleep at Reggie's house. Was I Happy! And with an agenda for the evening that includes a special showing of the junk collection, a wrestling match, a pillow fight, magic tricks, checkers, dominoes, a magnifying glass, and ghost stories, who wouldn't be excited? In the end and in an entirely unexpected way, however, the night proves a happier one than even Ira imagined. One of the most welcome of all experiences is finding out that other people share what you thought were your own particular problems. With his deft sense of character and situation and the humorous elements intrinsic in both, Bernie Waber captures this essence - art and text - in Ira's archetypal yet certainly unique overnight adventure
