Readers Preference Reviews

When his parents decide to go out and look at the flowers in the garden young Rip Squeak plans a surprise party for them.  He enlists the help of his sister, the cat, a frog, and a dragonfly to get the job done.  Even with a discontinuity in the story between pages 9 and 10 it still reads well. The illustrations are excellent and well above the average quality one expects from Raven Tree Press.  "The Surprise Party" is a very typical story with no real surprises and a recommended read for young children.
