Get Set, Georgette!
Georgette is going to Rebecca's birthday party: the only problem is her ideas about suitable party attire are somewhat at odds with her mother's. However, when Mum has to go out, Georgette uses her creative talents to produce the perfect party garb, not to mention a more exciting replacement for Auntie Gladys' cake. Much of the story is told in Mum's words to her daughter while she gets her ready for the party, and then (in italics) Georgette's own inner speech as she takes over the preparations. The humour in this tale is brought out by the quirky storytelling illustrations which perfectly match the mood.
