Illustrated by
Lynn Munsinger.
The penguins of Nice Icy Land are hard at work, preparing the "Perfect Party for Tacky the Penguin's Birdday." But things don't go according to plan, and with odd bird Tacky, you really should expect the unexpected. But if your Perfect Party is sliding headlong into disaster, what do you have to lose? Munsinger's appealing illustrations celebrate the humor in Lester's lively text.
