Pass the Parcel

It’s Princess Patricia’s birthday, and her fairy godmother has conjured up a parcel so that she can play her favorite party game. But where are the guests? Lift the first parcel flap, and there they are—Little Red Riding Hood, Giant Rumblebunn, Puss in Boots, and Goldilocks! There's just one problem: as each flap is lifted and a new layer of the parcel is removed, it soon becomes clear that the players are opening one another's gifts! And—even worse—the Princess hasn't had a present at all! But there’s still one tiny parcel left. Ros Asquith is a highly successful author, whose books include DK Toddlers: My Do It!, Ball!, Babies, and Mrs. Pig’s Night Out. Illustrator Katharine McEwen is well-known for children’s favorites like Here Comes Tabby Cat, Cows in the Kitchen, and The Man Who Wore All His Clothes.
