Ben prepares a surprise party for Doris, while the guests share food, games, singing, dancing, presents and thanks.
Devil, dragon and other familiar monster figures attend a birthday party and take part in ordinary social activities.
Monster shapes, a ghost, a skeleton and playful destruction appear, but the party is described as non-threatening. Notice whether your child enjoys the comic monster imagery and energetic visual jokes.
