Karen's Sleepover
by Ann M. Martin

Karen's having her first sleepover ever!

My friend and I put our sleeping bags on the floor in the playroom. We arranged them in a circle, like the spokes of a wagon wheel.

Then we sat on our sleeping bags. We opened our overnight bags.

"Look what I brought!" cried Leslie. She held up her nightgown. It had leopard spots and red fringe on it.

We started to laugh.

"I brought - ta-dah! - my musical puppy," said Jannie. "Look. You push this button on his tummy and he moves his head. Plus, his eyes blink on and off, and a music box inside him plays 'How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?'"

Now we couldn't stop laughing.

My sleepover had started.
