About this item
Mary is always neat and organized, while Harry is horribly messy. But even Marys carefully planned schedule cant help when things go wrong at her own birthday party. The party is supposed to start with the kids from Room 3B taking an exciting train ride, but when their train is delayed not one . . . not two . . . but three times, Marys plan is completely ruined! She thinks the only thing that can make her feel better is cup after cup of sugary Island Punch - even after her mom tells her to stop. But what Mary doesnt know is that Harry has his own wacky ideas for saving Marys big day. Can the kids still have fun even when nothings going the way its supposed to, or will this be the most horrible birthday ever?
