As usual, this book is just a bit of nonsense, very over-the-top. That's what makes it so hysterical. 200 kids? 200 birthday cakes, 200 presents, 200 pizzas? Kids on the roof? Munsch eschews subtle in exchange for hilarious.

And as usual, the book features a diverse cast, which is always nice.

Robert Munsch’s El cumpleaños de Moira is illustrated by Michael Martchenko. It is a zany story about a little girl, Moira, who has a birthday party. Everyone wants to go to her party and, for some reason, every one brings their own cakes, pizzas, sandwiches, etc., so that there is way too much

food and way too many gifts. In spite of the surplus, everyone at the party consumes the food fast and leaves a huge mess for Moira’s parents to clean.
