The birthday child looks very much like a hippopotamus. Her friends, the birthday monsters, arrive just after dawn, bring presents, make a wonderful mess and clean it up.

You hear your door come crashing down - those birthday monsters are in town! And they´re going to wreak havoc in the most extraordinarily rude ways. What fun! From Boynton on Board, the 2.6-million-copy-bestselling series of extra-big, extra-fat, and extra-fun board books, here is BIRTHDAY MONSTERS. Featuring Sandra Boynton´s lively rhyming text and inimitable illustrations, this story about a madcap crew of lovable party crashers will appeal to kids and adults alike.
