Reviews
“Mouse’s birthday party is at The Panda Palace, and all her friends are attending, each bringing a special gift…with a rhyming guessing game for each….Rhyming clues and answers appear on alternating pages, allowing children to listen carefully and solve the riddle before turning the page to confirm their response…the combination of a popular theme and winning ending emphasizing a friendship’s reunion in a jovial zoo-like setting will encourage repeated readings with gleeful shouts at the appropriate time.” – Kirkus Reviews
“…Mr. Panda is throwing a bash at his restaurant with many of the same animals first seen in Dinner at the Panda Palace (HarperCollins, 1991). Each guest gives Mouse a gift – described on one page in bouncy rhyme and revealed as readers turn the page and shout out the last word to complete the quatrain…. Cushman’s bright and cheery illustrations echo the lively rhymes… All in all, a fun party. – School Library Journal
