This two-story collection includes: Allergic to Birthday Parties, Science Projects, and Other Man-made Catastophes Here's the third hilarious book in the series about Alvin Ho, a boy who's afraid of everything . For example, what could possibly be so scary about a birthday party? Let Alvin explain: You might be dressed for bowling . . . but everyone else is dressed for swimming. You could get mistaken for the piñata. You could eat too much cake. You could throw up. So when Alvin receives an invitation to a party-a girl's party-how will he ever survive? Allergic to Dead Bodies, Funerals, and Other Fatal Circumstances Let's face it. When it comes to death, everything is scary. Especially if your name is Alvin Ho and you maybe, sort of, agreed to go to a funeral for your gunggung's best friend (who was your friend too). Alvin's all freaked out. But being brave is hard. What if Alvin's not ready to say goodbye to someone he loves? From the Compact Disc edition.
