The third title in the laugh-out-loud series of picture books starring Bad Apple, a truly terrible piece of fruit, is here! Granny Smith's birthday party is in full swing, and all the apples are invited. There's face painting, a piñata, a pile of presents, and one of Snake's finest cakes. But Bad Apple can't wait to spoil the fun! However, it seems that this party pooper's luck might have run out. Pineapple has had enough of Apple's bad behavior and is ready to teach him a lesson.

In the third instalment of Huw Lewis Jones' hilarious series of picture books, a truly terrible piece of fruit is once again wreaking havoc far beyond the rim of the fruit bowl. Illustrated in a deadpan, painterly style by Ben Sanders, Party Pooper will entertain the entire family.

The story begins with Bad Apple arriving at Granny Smith's birthday party. He's excited to join in the fun, but he soon realizes that something is amiss. The other apples are being very polite and friendly, while Bad Apple is being rude and obnoxious. He tries to make himself look better by stealing presents and causing chaos, but it only makes him look worse.

Pineapple, who has been watching Bad Apple's behavior from afar, decides to take matters into her own hands. She confronts Bad Apple and tells him that he needs to change his ways. Bad Apple is initially resistant, but Pineapple is determined to teach him a lesson.

The rest of the story is filled with hilarious antics as Pineapple tries to teach Bad Apple how to be a good apple. She shows him how to be polite, how to share, and how to be a good friend. Bad Apple is initially resistant, but he eventually starts to see the error of his ways.

In the end, Bad Apple learns a valuable lesson about the importance of being a good apple. He apologizes to Granny Smith and the other apples, and he promises to try to be better in the future. The story ends with a party, where all the apples are happy and celebrating Bad Apple's transformation.

This book is perfect for children who love to laugh and who are interested in learning about the importance of being a good friend and a good person. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story is engaging and funny. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun and entertaining read.
