What is This Is Actually My Party about?
It is Charlie’s birthday, and he has planned an exciting party with a scary, hairy monster theme. But Lola has her own ideas. She makes pink fairy cakes, opens Charlie’s cards and presents, and even blows out the candles on his cake. Lola is having such a wonderful time that she seems to forget whose birthday it is. Charlie must find a way to explain that this party is actually his, while trying not to spoil Lola’s fun.
