Birthdays Books

I love this book. The first copy I bought at a discount store, but now I'm back for another one since I have another child, and I need another one for his birthday memories. There are places to record the weather, the party, the height and hand size of the child, the child's b-day wish, and what the child hopes to accomplish before their next birthday. Overall, I would recommend this book to any parent who wishes to keep their child's cherished birthday memories in a fun and exciting way.

Another book read during the time of Dr. Seuss, and this one just put all kinds of warm fuzzies into me. In another land we are introduced to a concept where a birthday is more than just a total of years you have been alive; it is a celebration of the wonder of you! Dr. Seuss goes to all lengths to make this fun and crazy--one of his funnest and craziest yet--and I was touched by its meaning. It's similar to the concepts in "Oh, The Places You'll Go!".

Great book and gift for anyone. Fun bright illustration with more of an artsy feel rather than cartoonish. I bought the book for my twins first B-day. They loved it. I bought again for the neighbors first B-day.

Blue Kangaroo it's the best children book. My daughters love this story and it's inteligent and beautiful.

Winnie is a favorite with my 4 year old. The fold-out birthday cake in the middle she loves. The detail in the illustration fascinates her and the words are a pleasure for me to read, meaning that the author knows how to make a readable sentence, unlike many other children's books (Chris Van Allsburg & Jan Brett amongst them) who would be better off hiring a writer to structure a read-aloud sentence and sticking to illustration.
The CD, though, is too sing-song and I would not recommend it.

I got my first Ant and Bee book for my son on a recommendation from a nursery school teacher from the Bank Street School. My son is not quite two years old, and already follows the pictures and words in these classic books with glee. And because they are just his size, in bright colors, he especially likes to carry them with him when we travel. He likes pointing out characters like the Zoo Man and the Kind Dog, and of course, Ant and Bee. Most interesting about these books is that the text itself is fun for children to look at. Key words are highlighted with varying fonts and colors, and sections are sprinkled with minature versions of pictures from larger illustrations. Happy Birthday with Ant and Bee highlights the days of the week, as Ant and Bee plan a birthday party for Kind Dog. Each book has its own special twist with familiar objects. I recommend the entire series.

This was the very first book I read by myself as a child in Kindergarten, and I am eager to share it with my own little girl. All of the Dear Dragon books are perfect for young readers, and I highly recommend them.

This coloring book is jam-packed with fun. Lots of adorable illustrations show Elmo (and his Sesame Street pals) enjoying his birthday. A great coloring book value for any fan of this furry, red, three-year old.

My 6 year old grandaughter loves the Mallory books...they are cute and
funny without being "over the top" and all seem to have a subtle lesson.
She is a new reader and really enjoys the stories and finds them easy to
read...Love the series for her and we can enjoy them together!!

The Candyland books are superbly illustrated. My children love the realistic pictures of the candy. Warning: they may get hungry.
