Bingo’s Birthday Summary
You’re invited to the barnyard birthday bash of a very special pup. But before the party can begin, Farmers Pickle and Tickle need your help to find the guest of honor!
Let your child know what to expect. Tell them if it will be dark or loud or crowded. Let them know that they need to be quiet (or at least whisper).
If you’re going with more than one child, bring a buddy. One person can take a child to the bathroom, get snacks, or make a getaway with a child who is melting down while the other stays with the rest of the children.
