What is Hooper Humperdink...? Not Him! about?

At a grand birthday party, guests arrive in alphabetical order, from Alice and Abe to Zeb and Zipper. There is music, ice cream, hot dogs and strawberry soda, and everyone seems welcome—except Hooper Humperdink. As the celebration grows, Hooper is left wondering whether he will be allowed to join the fun. With playful rhymes, repeated phrases and a parade of wonderfully silly names, this lively story explores parties, belonging and the importance of making room for everyone.
