Shh! It’s Monkey’s birthday. But that’s a secret. Can Elephant keep the big news under his party hat for one whole day?

Monkey lets Elephant in on a secret — it’s Monkey’s birthday, and Monkey does not like birthdays. But Elephant also has a secret: he has trouble keeping secrets. When Elephant learns that Clever Rat has made some party hats and is inviting friends over to see them, Elephant wants to turn their gathering into a party for Monkey. But how will he do it without giving away Monkey’s secret?
A solid choice for libraries looking to increase their early chapter book series.
