Mouse is planning a surprise party. Is everybody ready? Vivid colors and bright-eyed silhouettes bring a forest full of animals to life in a funny (and sneaky!) story that would make an ideal birthday gift. Who is hiding, poised to jump up happily when Ada arrives? Flashlight in hand, Mouse shines a light on all the friends, illuminating them one by one. Could that be Elephant clutching a balloon in the bushes? Is that Lion, getting ready to roar? And where is Monkey--maybe searching for a party hat? With its bold, graphic illustrations, an element of "guess who," and an exciting display for the birthday child at the end, little ones will be more than ready for Daishu Ma's delightful celebration of friendship, surprises, and caring for one another.
