Summary: Little Patricia is upset when her father seems to have forgotten about her birthday. Not only is there no evidence of presents, cake, or a party, her father suggests the family try to get a photograph of the Monster at Clay Pit Bottoms! Patricia is scared, but she tries to be brave and tough it out with her brothers until they come face-to-face with the Monster!
Butterfly’s notes: I love Patricia Polacco’s artistic style. This book is an ordinary story, but a funny and cute one.
