Where's the party? Lemon wants to know! Follow her as she gathers a festive crew in this tutti-frutti rhyming tale, chock-full of funny characters fashioned out of recycled items.

It's a come-one-and-all party! With its eye-popping art, bouncy rhyming text and fresh take on the theme of inclusivity, Come On In will have kids smiling, pointing, and wondering: Can I make those, too?
