Ada, Are You Ready?

Daishu Ma's 'Ada, Are You Ready?' is a charming picture book about a mouse organizing a surprise birthday party for Ada. The story cleverly engages young readers with a 'guess who' element as Mouse shines a flashlight, illuminating animal friends hiding in the forest. It's a joyful celebration of friendship, teamwork, and the excitement of a surprise, featuring bold, graphic illustrations that bring the forest animals to life. Ideal for ages 4-8, this book models kindness and the fun of caring for others.

Mouse is planning a surprise party. Is everybody ready? Vivid colors and bright-eyed silhouettes bring a forest full of animals to life in a funny (and sneaky!) story that would make an ideal birthday gift. Who is hiding, poised to jump up happily when Ada arrives? Flashlight in hand, Mouse shines a light on all the friends, illuminating them one by one. Could that be Elephant clutching a balloon in the bushes? Is that Lion, getting ready to roar? And where is Monkey--maybe searching for a party hat? With its bold, graphic illustrations, an element of "guess who," and an exciting display for the birthday child at the end, little ones will be more than ready for Daishu Ma's delightful celebration of friendship, surprises, and caring for one another.
