Patrick and the Not So Perfect Party

Children will laugh over the hilarious ending; indeed, they’ll giggle their way through this uproarious book-and perhaps realize that learning to be a bit flexible can be a lot of fun. The colorful illustrations are a dynamic hoot, and the costumes will spark great ideas.A perfectly entertaining read. * Kirkus Reviews *Vibrant illustrations provide a festive atmosphere throughout the story and comically illustrate Patrick’s ensuing frustration at the chaos caused by the miscommunications. Not only is it nice to a see a boy doing the party-planning, but it’s good to see a child being a fusspot in a low-stakes situation, since that’s where almost all childhood disappointments start. * School Library Journal *
