“Yippee, it’s my birthday soon!” screamed Russel, his doggie dance around the room. That means I need to throw a party for my birthday, I better get some help, Russel thought. Russel dashes to the phone to get some help from his friend Jemimah!
Russel the dog is turning 5 and he’s really excited, but he’s never thrown a party before. So who better to get help from than Jemimah the puppy his best friend.
“Jemimah, do you know how to throw a party?” Russel questioned Jemimah. ‘A party, what for? Wait your birthday’s coming up soon isn’t. Oh no I don’t know how to throw a party either! But wait, I know someone who’s great at throwing parties!” Jemimah exclaimed! “Who is it?” Russel screamed into the phone. “Matilda the Monkey, she’s at the zoo!” exclaimed Jemimah excitedly. “Then were off to the zoo!” Russel answered!
“Hey Matilda, I heard your great at throwing parties!” said Russel excitedly. “Yes, I am, I love to throw parties!” explained Matilda. “So what type of party do you want?” asked Matilda. “I’m not exactly sure, but I’m turning 5, so I want it to be quite special… I’ve got it a ZOO party! Yes it will be the best party ever!” Russel excitedly explained!
“Ok, so you have the theme settled, now who do you want to invite?” asked Matilda. “Um, I’m not really sure,” answered Russel, “I know how about we walk through the zoo and you can hand out the invitations as walk past the animals!” said Jemimah.
“Ok let’s get going we have a party to plan yelled Russel excitedly. So Matilda, Russel and Jemimah started walking through the zoo, trying to find animals to invite to Russel’s party.
“Look, over there, its Ellie the Elephant and Lilly the Lion!” exclaimed Jemimah. “Hey Ellie and Lilly, would you like to come to my 5th birthday party, here’s an invitation!” Russel asked. “Oh yeah we’d love to come sounds great!” Ellie and Lilly said together. “Alright see you there.” Answered Russel.
“Over there, there’s Cheddar the Cheetah and Toby the Tiger, did you want to invite them?” Matilda asked. “Yes of course!” replied Russel. “Hey Toby and Cheddar, Russel having a party!” said Jemimah. “Oh cool are we invited?” asked Toby. “Yeah of course. Here’s your invitation.” Answered Russel. “Cool thanks I’ll see you there.” Said Cheddar excitedly!
“Ok we have the guests organized, next thing for a great party is MUSIC!” said Matilda. “Who’s got good music?” Asked Russel. “I know who always plays good music… Wayne the Walrus! He is always playing great tunes.” Answered Jemimah.
All the friends walked over to Wayne the Walrus. “Hey Wayne I hear you’ve got good music!” said Russel. “Oh yeah I love music!” replied Wayne. “Would you like to be in charge of the music, at my party?” asked Russel. “Sure I’d love to, what type of music are you looking for?” answered Wayne. “Well it’s a zoo themed party, so your best jungle music!” said Russel. “I can do that!” exclaimed Wayne. “Ok see you there.” said Russel.
“Oh no my party is in an hour, I better get going. See you guys later.” Russel yelled as he ran out of the zoo.
Russel’s party was a huge success, everyone enjoyed themselves and Russel had the best time of his life! “Thanks Matilda and Jemimah for helping me with this party and thanks everyone for coming. This has been the best party in the whole wide world!!” screamed Russel as they were cutting the cake!
