Description
A poignant – and laugh-out-loud funny – story about our busy lives and how we can fix our mistakes to show our friends how much we care.It’s Bridget’s birthday, and she thinks it would be fun to spend the day with friends. But Royal has places to go, Rodney has to see a man about a dog, Regis has to wash his hair and Pearl has a list of items she needs to cross off as quickly as she can. Bridget’s friends are all too busy to hang out!Will Bridget have to spend her birthday all alone?In a story that shows how friends are more important than the busy-ness of a day, Oliver Jeffers’s bold and brilliant art pairs with a powerful story that makes readers realise what truly matters.
