"The six little ninjas of Dojo Daycare and Dojo Daytrip are back for a third adventure{u2014}this time, planning a surprise birthday party for their master. Stealthy as ever, the ninja girls and ninja boys tiptoe around without a noise (or so they think) as they prepare for the celebration. Meanwhile, the master is spooked by the noises and shadows he senses around him. Is there a dragon over there? It{u2019}s a total dojo scare! Master must be more aware. He tells himself: If I use my ears and eyes, I won{u2019}t be taken by{u2014} SURPRISE! Master gasps, then laughs and cries. He can{u2019}t believe his ninja eyes! Streamers, poppers, candles, cake{u2014}he{u2019}s delighted by the party and by the thoughtfulness of his little ninja charges. There{u2019}s even a gift: a dragon-in-the-box who pops out for one last scream. Chris Tougas{u2019}s digitally rendered ninjas pop off the page once again in this laugh-out-loud story. Told in rhyming verse with a playful rhythm, accompanied by hilarious illustrations and big sound effects, Dojo Surprise makes for a riotous read-aloud with a kindhearted message"--Amazon.com. (less)
