Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1AThe playful, self-assured mouse first introduced in Contrary Mary (Candlewick, 1995) is turning four years old. "Much you very thank," she says as she opens the presents from her parents, helps to make the party food (inside-out sandwiches and cupcakes frosted upside down), and dances and plays hide-and-seek with her guests. Her day is complete when everyone sings "You to birthday happy!" Starting with the festive endpapers, the cheerful ink-and-watercolor illustrations are full of energy and reveal a happy, loving family celebrating a special day. The characters' penchant for stripes and polka-dots adds to the lightheartedness of the text, and the large print will appeal to beginning readers. This tale is charming and Mary's antics will capture and hold the attention of young children.AMaryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI

From Booklist
Ages 3^-5. Those familiar with Contrary Mary (1995) will remember that the little mouse doesn't do things the way others do. That holds true on her birthday as well when Mary opens her presents at the top of the day, sits on the floor while everyone else dances at her party, eats her Jell-O with a knife and fork, and encourages people to wish her a "Birthday Happy." Sprightly ink-and-watercolor pictures extend the fun. A selection for larger libraries or where Contrary Mary is popular. Ilene Cooper
