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.
