Review by Booklist Review
Gr. K-1. The print is quite large, the spacing very generous, and the story sweet and simple in this entry in the All-Aboard Reading series. A little girl who's convinced she always has bad luck has a wonderful birthday even though an electrical outage caused by a snowstorm means her party must be canceled. Appealing pastel paintings by the author picture the nameless young narrator as her hopes for a wonderful party build, she mopes about during the blackout, and her family gathers round to give her an unexpectedly delightful time. A positive first read all around. (Reviewed Oct. 1, 1992)0448403811Stephanie Zvirin

Review by Horn Book Review
Colorful, cheerful illustrations accompany the story of a seven-year-old girl who considers herself unlucky until her winter birthday party is snowed out and she has a few lucky birthday surprises. A pleasant beginning reader about turning lemons into lemonade. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
