A little preview

Alex set a tiny table beneath the big oak in the backyard for a very special tea party. A gentle triceratops named Trixie lumbered in wearing a ribbon, and Alex's friend Mira the beetle carried sugar cubes. Paper cups and leaf plates gleamed on the table. The problem: Trixie's three horns made the cups wobble and the tiny chairs looked courageously small. Alex worried the party might topple before it began.
