Harold Snipperpot’s Best Disaster Ever

 《無所事事的美好一天》、《巴黎的獅子》碧翠絲‧阿雷馬娜最新力作！

 當從沒舉辦過生日派對的小男孩，遇上瘋狂的動物大隊，

 他的生日派對究竟會毀於一旦，還是值得紀念一輩子呢？

  

 　　哈羅德已經七歲了，卻從沒辦過生日派對，因為他的爸媽超討厭這類型的活動（包括擁抱和親吻），但哈羅德實在太想擁有自己的生日派對了，於是他的爸媽只好找上隔壁鄰居、號稱問題解決專家的龐奇奧先生。龐奇奧先生一口答應幫忙，還誇口說「這個派對將會非常特別！」

  

 　　但沒想到，龐奇奧先生帶來的動物們卻為哈羅德家帶來了大災難：鳥兒打破了奶奶的瓷器、烏龜正在咀嚼珍奇的藏書、長頸鹿吃掉了吊燈、犰狳在試戴媽媽的珍珠項鍊、河馬淹掉了整個浴室……。儘管這群動物破壞了哈羅德家，毀了生日派對，但這場災難最後還是實現了哈羅德的生日願望，究竟神奇的龐奇奧先生怎麼辦到的？

 　　

 　　碧翠絲‧阿雷馬娜（Beatrice Alenagna）曾創作2017年獲紐約時報最佳童書的《無所事事的美好一天》（On a Magical Do-Nothing Day）、《巴黎的獅子》（A lion in Paris）、《神奇的胖胖-蓬蓬-小小》（The Wonderful Fluffy Little Squishy）等廣受歡迎的精采繪本作品。（文／博客來編譯）

  

From the internationally admired, award-winning creator of many celebrated picture books, including On a Magical Do-Nothing Day, A Lion in Paris, and The Wonderful Fluffy Little Squishy, comes a story about lonely Harold Snipperpot, a seven-year-old boy who has never had a real birthday party, until now.

Harold is turning seven years old. He's never had a real birthday party. That's because his parents are too grumpy.

But this year they feel bad for Harold. "We'll call up Mr. Ponzio," says Harold's mother. So they do, and Mr. Ponzio agrees to help, "The party will be absolutely extraordinary, Mrs. Snipperpot." When everyone arrives at the Snipperpots', everyone--especially Harold--is absolutely flabbergasted. It truly is a party like no other.

Full of surprises, every animal imaginable, and magical moments galore, Harold Snipperpot's Best Disaster Ever is a party unlike any other.
