The third book in the award-winning, top-selling “Penelope” series is a comical birthday celebration with hilarious illustrations and uproarious text.
Penelope is having a birthday party and everyone is invited. But as her parents soon realize, Penelope really did invite everyone. As ballerinas leap through the air, ponies meander through the kitchen, soccer players kick penalty shots in the living room, and an elephant makes himself at home, Penelope’s flabbergasted parents find increasingly dramatic words (outrageous … ridiculous … preposterous) to describe the growing chaos. Even though Penelope meant well by not leaving anyone out, it’s clear that this birthday bash has gone berserk … bonkers … bananas! So ring the doorbell and join Penelope’s party – with this birthday girl, it’s bound to be a blast!
This is the third book in the award-winning “Penelope” series which also includes Penelope and the Monsters, which the Vancouver Sun called “comedy both parents and kids can relate to,” and Penelope and the Humongous Burp, a Canadian Toy Testing Council “Great Books of the Year” selection. The first two “Penelope” titles were both shortlisted for the Ontario Library Association’s Blue Spruce Award.
