I just finish this book. I didn't like Nancy in this book. (takes time, for your invitations arrived in your mail.) Ugh, Pamela is such a brat. Saying she can't pizza. Cause, gives her bad breath. Any food gives you bad breath. Doesn't like sleeping on the floor. She didn't give out good reason. (Like she has back problems or something.) Nice of Charlie telling them a scary story. (Now, I'm scared of the buckethead.) Kidding. I love it, when they throw cookie dough at each other. Even Kristy join the fun. Waston had be the party pooper. I enjoy reading this book.
I didn't went to a sleepover, when i was 7. I think, my first sleepover was when I was 12 or 13 or older. (It was like church sleepover. At someone's house. The church we used go to.)
When I was in elementary school. The most students was 30+ (more or less) I went to a Christian school. 1st and 2nd grade was in the same room. (this was through the whole grade expect kindergarten.)

Well, wouldn't the reason be that she doesn't like it? Not to defend her exactly but I didn't like sleeping on the floor at her age either. I'm not sure why Pamela even accepted Karen's invitation; she thought she was too cool for the girls in her class from the first day (not talking to them, sitting alone at lunch, etc.)

Pamela's mom probably made her go. She had to invite the whole class to her birthday party in one of the books.

I doubt Mr. Harding made her go, because when Karen invited Pamela, she just said "Sure" off the cuff like she didn't even really have to ask her mom.

I was annoyed with Nancy and Pamela. With Nancy, I was annoyed with how she assumed that she wasn't invited to the sleepover. It's not Karen's fault that Nancy's invitation took longer to arrive than expected. With Pamela, I thought that she was a brat at the sleepover. Complaining that she had to sleep in a bed, etc., what a pain!

Ironically this is my favorite book, even though this is one of the books when Karen and Nancy don't get along. Pamela was a snobby brat and Nancy wasn't acting much better.

This has always been among my favorites too.

I love when Pamela shows up at the big house, and Sam walks by and whispers "dweeb" in Karen's ear. Way to compare 7 year olds, hotshot.

I never thought of that, sparklymouse! Sam was kind of a weirdo. Who cares that another second grader is dressed in cooler clothes than your stepsister?
I actually didn't mind Nancy too much in this one because this is exactly the kind of fight I would have had with my friends, assuming that I ever actually mailed invitations instead of my mom calling their mom or handing them out at school. I'm glad she came in the end, though.

Has anyone noticed that in the photo of The Three Musketeers' friendship pact, that all 3 signatures - of Karen, Hannie and Nancy - look the same as Kristy's? Way to go, Scholastic Art department. 7 year olds can't write cursive that well, especially when you see Karen's splotchy printing in photos throughout the Little Sister series.
Other than that, Hannie makes me laugh on the cover. Her facial expression is funny/crazy!

^I remember that. Also, Vanessa Pike's handwriting in #34 looks almost exactly like Kristy's, too.
When I was in school they didn't start making us learn cursive until the third grade, and for sure it was a lot messier-looking than these girls' signatures.

My school in K-3rd grade was doing this weird experiment where they weren't teaching cursive, and then I moved over the summer and all the kids in my 4th grade class had learned cursive the year before, so the teacher gave me some workbooks to teach myself and my cursive handwriting has never been exactly standard.

We learned it in 3rd grade in the old traditional way.
