"Children will laugh over the hilarious ending; indeed, they'll giggle their way through this uproarious book-and perhaps realize that learning to be a bit flexible can be a lot of fun. A perfectly entertaining read." Kirkus Reviews

When Russ makes a mistake on Patrick's party invitation, Patrick thinks his birthday is ruined. But is it?
