Bookroo's summary

A little monster eagerly awaits guests for its birthday party. As the doorbell rings, the party grows from one to fifty wild monsters, turning the celebration into a chaotic frenzy. With Monster Mom reaching her limit, the party must end, leaving the little monster to reflect on the best birthday ever. This lively tale teaches counting and math through playful rhymes and vibrant illustrations. Will the little monster's party be remembered for its fun or its frenzy?

From the publisher

One little monster waits for the first birthday guest to arrive. . . . There’s a knock on the door, and now there are two! Now three! Now four! The guests keep arriving until fifty partying monsters wreak havoc and Monster Mom decides that enough is enough. The partygoers reluctantly depart until just that one little monster remains–after the best birthday party ever. Little ones can learn counting and basic math concepts while they’re laughing over the rollicking rhymes and hilarious, energetic illustrations.
