Description

A MINI version of the original Robert Munsch classic—perfect for party favors, trips, and more!

Moira's birthday party might be a bit bigger than she bargained for.

 

Moira’s afraid her parents might get upset if they find out she invited the whole school to her birthday party . . . so she just doesn’t tell them. The big day arrives, and all the kids in grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, aaaaand kindergarten come knocking at her door. Before long, the house is a total disaster and Moira’s parents are going crazy trying to figure out how to get enough pizzas and birthday cake to feed everyone. Just leave it to Moira—she’ll figure it all out, and even get the house cleaned up in the process!

Editorial Reviews

“Children will love the way Moira’s parents collapse at each fresh disaster, while Moira sails along, calmly solving problems.”

Homemaker’s

“Rhythmic, repetitive text just super lends itself to reading aloud.”
