Joey is very excited at the thought of a big, happy birthday party, and the whole Jack family are thrown into a flurry of
preparations. There are to be cakes and presents and games and almost everyone is to be invited - but Mr Jack draws the line at asking the Lions. They might eat his guests instead!
By some dreadful mistake one invitation goes missing, and ends up right next to the Lions' lair . . . And when the uninvited guests arrive, all dressed up in their best, Joey's party takes a very unexpected turn.
Excellent childrens book!
This story is one of my sons favorite books. He is nearly 3 years old and can't get enough of it. The story is about a family of kangaroos who are celebrating Joey's birthday. They invite all their animal friends except for the lions but the lions happen to accidentally receive an invite too. When the lions arrive at the party, things aren't as bad as they all expected. The story has great rhythm and flows wonderfully and the pictures are fantastic. Highly recommended!
