PreS-Gr 2–Lurking behind the fun of every party is the notorious party pooper! Will they prevail in destroying the fun? In this funny story, an adorable panda party pooper wreaks havoc on the festivities, but regrets his actions and must earn his fellow partygoers’ forgiveness. The story has read-aloud potential with short and snappy sentences that will keep children turning pages and involved to the very last. The watercolor illustrations are fun and colorful, perfectly capturing the party atmosphere.
VERDICT While not necessarily groundbreaking in content, this comical story is a solid additional purchase for children’s collections.
