Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
"It would be difficult to find more likable party-givers than this high-spirited heroine and her calmer but equally enthusiastic dad," said PW. Ages 3-6.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-- A simply stated picture book about an African-American family's birthday celebration. It's Yvette's mother's birthday, and the child and her father are vacuuming, dusting, baking, shopping, and decorating. The excitement of planning and preparation makes the youngster quite anxious, and Dad is constantly saying, ``Not yet, Yvette.'' The illustrations are uneven. Full-page spreads appear static, and some illustrations of the characters exhibit cartoonlike stylism. The text and illustrations do not set a mood of gentle patience but rather one of annoyance, and the repetitive ``Not yet, Yvette'' becomes quite obnoxious. A good thematic idea not well executed. --Barbara Osborne Williams, Queen Borough Public Library, Jamaica, NY
