Katie and Harry are twins who wish it was their birthday every time a party invitation comes. Despite their disappointment, they have a megasauric time at Tim's dinosaur party, a wonderfully wild time at Nicola's picnic in the park and an excitingly scary time at George's Halloween party. But when their birthday finally arrives, for Katie and Harry it is quite simply the best party of them all!

Nii Kwei gets up at six o'clock every morning. He helps his sisters and brother tidy up the compound, then he eats a breakfast of coco (corn porridge), bread, fried eggs and a chocolate drink. At 7.30 he goes to school in a taxi. Later, on his way home, he goes to Abraham's material store with his mother. He ends the day playing football with his cousins, back at the compound.

Katie and Harry are twins who wish it were their birthday every time a party invitation comes along. Despite their disappointment, they have a megasauric time at Tim's dinosaur party, a wonderfully wild time at Nicola's picnic in the park, a silly time at Mary's circus party, and an excitingly scary time at George's Halloween party. But when their birthday finally arrives, Katie and Harry realize that even though their party isn't a dinosaur party, a picnic in the park, or a Halloween bash, for them it is quite simply the best party of them all. Highly appealing watercolor illustrations and a rhythmic, cumulative text make this a fun read-aloud book.
