Looking for ideas for a great birthday party?  Then be sure to read Penelope and The Preposterous Birthday Party so you’ll know just what you shouldn’t do!

            This very funny book, written by Sheri Radford and chocked full of wonderful illustrations by artist Christine Tripp, is one of the cutest I’ve read in a long time.

            Little Penelope is having a birthday party, and has been given permission to invite her closest friends to help her celebrate.  But since Penelope doesn’t want to leave anyone out, her house soon is soon filled to the brim with smiling, prancing, bouncing classmates, soccer players, clowns, magicians…and yes, even monkeys!

            For a good read and an eye-full of clever (and hilarious) artwork, be sure to add Penelope and the Preposterous Birthday Party to your collection.  It is the third book in the award-winning "Penelope" series.  The others are, Penelope and the Monsters (Lobster Press, 2005), and Penelope and the Humongous Burp (Lobster Press, 2004)

            This one makes a good addition to any elementary classroom or library…and it naturally makes an excellent gift for your own little Penelope’s upcoming preposterous birthday party.
