The President is back and this time it’s his birthday. Everyone is getting ready for the party but when he disappears they start getting anxious. But they are in for a big surprise! Donnelly’s illustrations are even brighter and bolder in this third President tale, full of a wonderful confidence and swagger. Great fun! - Sarah Webb
