Review

(starred review) Robert Munsch has done it again--with a simple story full of exaggeration and repetition sure to delight many youngsters. The action centres on Moira's sixth birthday party. he wants to invite all the children in her school to her party (typical six-year-old), but her parents have limited the number of guests to six (typical parents!). The ludicrous possibility becomes reality when hundreds of boys and girls show up at the party. The children's excitement and enjoyment increase, as does the parents' dismay. Finally, when even Moira appears daunted by the huge pile of presents, she has a great idea--every kid who helps tidy the mess they have created gets a present. In five minutes, the job is done and the exhausted parents watch hundreds of children file out of the house. But the peace is short lived. As the last child leaves, two trucks arrive with 190 pizzas and 190 birthday cakes, the rest of the order that was placed at the hectic height of the party. The reader can just about turn back to the beginning for the solution to that one! (Patricia Fry Canadian Materials 1998)

My name is Rachel. I am 6 years old. I love Moira's Birthday because it is so funny. The funniest part is when the entire school including kindergarten come rushing in the door to Moira's birthday party.The part when Moira orders 250 pizzas and cakes is hilarious. It makes me laugh. My whole family laughs. I also like other books by the same author.

1.0 out of 5 stars I was scammed April 18 2013
By DavidK - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am absolutely furious at the book I received. Not because of the story-Robert Munsch is absolutely one of the funniest children's author. I am a teacher, preparing to teach an author study. I spent my own money buying many of his books so my students can be exposed to many of his stories. I have 13 books that are ABSOLUTELY USELESS, being that their size is 2"x2". I can't very well read a book that small to my class as a whole and they are too tiny for partner reading. I feel completely scammed and am ready to stop using Amazon all together. There was no description that I could find to alert me of the fact that I was about to waste my money on tiny books.
