description: Perfect for a new generation of Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day readers this charming story about a grumpy cat gently shows how far a little sharing can go. Bernice is having a truly rotten time at her friend's birthday party. First everyone else gets a piece of cake with a frosting rose. But not Bernice. Then everyone else gets strawberry-melon soda. Bernice gets the prune-grapefruit juice. And it's warm. The last straw is the one lousy (squished) candy she gets from the piata. So when the balloons arrive Bernice knows just what she has to do: grab them all. And then poor cross Bernice gets carried up up and away. Luckily she figures out just how to make her way back down to the party...and she brightens lots of other animals' days on her way.Hannah Harrisons gorgeous animal paintings come alive in her second picture book. Her exceptionally polished debut Extraordinary Jane received starred reviews from Kirkus Publishers Weekly and School Library Journal.
