Everything is perfect until Betty realises - oh, no! - Mum’s birthday isn’t today . . . it’s next month. Whatever will they do with their circus surprise now?

Recenzje

"Witherspoon s jaunty, vivid text and Yan s pastel palette and exaggerated design effectively convey Betty s energy and spontaneity, keeping readers on the edge of their seats with each dramatic page turn. The author and illustrator have created another familiar and easily resolved tale, likely setting the stage for an ongoing series. A sure bet for a kid-tested, puppy-approved storytime."--Kirkus reviews
