Megabat and the Not-Happy Birthday

"Megabat and the Not-Happy Birthday" by Anna Humphrey is a humorous and heartwarming chapter book that continues the adventures of Megabat, a talking bat with a big personality. In this story, Daniel is struggling with his birthday, feeling self-conscious about his new glasses and less-than-excited about the celebration. Megabat, on the other hand, is bursting with enthusiasm for the party, especially for the fun games, presents, and the delicious buttermelon he can't have because he's supposed to stay hidden.

As the party progresses, Megabat's overzealous excitement leads to some mishaps, including breaking Daniel's favorite gift. Feeling like he's ruined everything, Megabat decides to run away, thinking it's the best thing for his friend. However, he quickly learns that being alone isn't as easy as he imagined.

This book is full of laughs, but it also touches on themes of friendship, understanding, and making up after a mistake. It's a delightful addition to the Megabat series, offering both humor and heartfelt moments for readers of all ages.
