Illustrated by
Holly Clifton-Brown.
Bored with the usual birthday parties, Annabelle demands that hers be on the moon this year. This location, however, has its own set of problems: Mom can't light the candles and no one can eat cake wearing a space helmet. The story, told in verse with some forced rhymes and lines that don't always scan, is accompanied by attractive exaggerated illustrations.
