Description

Rabbit confides to Owl that he is planning a party, but as the message is passed from animal to animal it gets more and more confused. The story features Rabbit, Owl, Squirrel, and other woodland creatures. Set in a forest, the book shows how a simple message about a surprise party becomes completely garbled as it travels from one character to the next.

If your kid likes "The Napping House" by Don and Audrey Wood, they'll love this charming tale. Ideal for kindergarten through second grade, especially for ages 5 to 7.
