Rezensionen
"Decked out in his mother's pots and pans while she bakes a cake, John is inspired to ask his friends to come to his party in costume - and we wait with him to see what they'll be wearing when, at the turn of the page, they come through the door. No dullards here: a carton on the street turns Hans into a special delivery package; a ball of string makes Vera a meatball covered with spaghetti. The final surprise comes when John carries in the cake, with the single word happy visible. In Charlip territory, nothing is all spelled out."-The Horn Book
