Penelope and the Preposterous Birthday Party

Penelope's having a birthday party and everyone's invited. But as her parents quickly 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 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.
