From the internationally admired, award-winning creator of many celebrated picture books, including On a Magical Do-Nothing Day, A Lion in Paris, and The Wonderful Fluffy Little Squishy, comes a story about lonely Harold Snipperpot, a seven-year-old boy who has never had a real birthday party, until now.
Harold is turning seven years old. He’s never had a real birthday party. That’s because his parents are too grumpy.
But this year they feel bad for Harold. “We’ll call up Mr. Ponzio,” says Harold’s mother. So they do, and Mr. Ponzio agrees to help, “The party will be absolutely extraordinary, Mrs. Snipperpot.” When everyone arrives at the Snipperpots', everyone—especially Harold—is absolutely flabbergasted. It truly is a party like no other.
Full of surprises, every animal imaginable, and magical moments galore, Harold Snipperpot’s Best Disaster Ever is a party unlike any other.
Perfect for fans of other shocking shindigs such as Secret Pizza Party by Adam Rubin and May I Bring a Friend? by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers.

On a Magical Do-Nothing Day

A perfect back-to-school book...with a twist! For little kids everywhere who feel anxious leaving home to go back to school. A Kids' Indie Next Pick! Never, Not Ever!&nbsp;is the instant classic from Beatrice Alemagna--a laugh-out-loud tribute to little kids everywhere who would prefer&nbsp;not&nbsp;to leave home on the first day of school. The other animals are marching dutifully to school, but Pascaline could care less. "Never, not ever!" she declares. She's NOT going. And nothing--not even her parents pulling her by her feet--will change her mind. She shrieks so loudly that her parents shrink down to the size of peanuts--becoming just the right size to fit snugly under Pascaline's wing. Now they can all go to school together! In&nbsp;Never, Not Ever!&nbsp;award-winning picture book creator Beatrice Alemagna reminds us that small children need their parents to be close by . . . but not&nbsp;too&nbsp;close.
