Book Description

Planning a special ice-skating birthday party, Casey, Kate, and Jenny are nevertheless unprepared for the thrills, chills, and especially spills that make the day unforgettable. By the author of Nannies for Hire.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4?The three girls featured in Pajama Party (1992) and Nannies for Hire (1994, both Morrow) are now planning something new?a seemingly simple birthday party. This true-to-life story becomes an adventure featuring relationships between best friends and family members, an ice-skating accident, and great fun. The first-person narrative is generally snappy but not as compelling as it was in the first two books. However, the fast-paced action accompanied by at least one full-color illustration per double-page spread will appeal to readers who are new to chapter books and comforted by lots of visual input.?Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID

From Booklist

Gr 2^-4. Casey, Jenny, and Kate, the three best friends from Pajama Party (1992) and Nannies for Hire (1994), return for more adventures. This time, Casey is planning a Three-Girl Luncheon Party for her ninth birthday. When this scheme hits a snag (the painter will be redoing her bedroom), she opts for ice skating instead, much to the excitement of Jenny and Kate. The party is a great success until Kate falls and breaks her arm, temporarily interrupting the fun with an ambulance ride to the hospital. Short chapters, large print, and frequent watercolor-and-gouache illustrations make this an attractive choice for newly independent readers. Well-defined characters and subtle setting details (New York City) add to the appeal. Kay Weisman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
