«The Surprise Party» is the children's picture book by Pat Hutchins, published by Puffin in paperback (32 pages, in English).
A rabbit tells an owl that he is organizing a surprise party, but the message passes from animal to animal and each one interprets it in their own way, until it becomes something unrecognizable. The story humorously shows how rumors alter information and leaves a nod to the importance of communicating clearly.
It is part of the Picture Puffin collection and was originally published in 1972.
Recommended for early readers, it invites conversation about rumors, misunderstandings, and the importance of expressing oneself clearly.
