Mother says deep down in his heart. Anthony loves me. Anthony says deep down in his heart he thinks I stink. Anthony's younger brother puts up with a lot. Every time he wants to play with Anthony and his friends, or even go into the playroom, Anthony starts to clobber him. There's nothing he can do now...but just wait until he's six! Judith Viorst's fine, funny story, now available in a handsome new edition, will charm readers of all ages.

It's Maggie's 10th birthday but there is no sign of a party or cake. Maggie lives with the circus which has just arrived to the big city. All the people are busy setting up. Have they forgotten her birthday? Maggie's best friends are the animals in the circus and they decide to go to a restaurant to celebrate. They got a famous restaurant where the chef is supposed to be able to make anything, but was he ready to make hay souffle, beetle stew, or pollen pie? Calamity follows calamity as the staff at the restaurant turns the kitchen upside down in their efforts to serve Maggie and her friends. This must surely be the most unusual and funniest 10th birthday ever!
