In this book, we meet a very excited panda cub, Boo, who is invited to Hurtle's birthday. Also invited to the party are Boo's cousins, Bam and Shutz, who are equally enthusiastic about the event. As the party unfolds, the three cubs become increasingly excited, and begin to push the boundaries of behaviour along with the patience of their parents. The intention is to demonstrate the consequences of the panda cub's naughty behaviour, and the effects of their actions on all those at the party. It deals with a range of emotions that are felt by the cub's parents, and everyone that became affected by their behaviour. The story culminates in the cubs gaining an understanding of the consequences of their actions, and subsequent attempt of redemption.
