5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful birthday present, June 15, 2009

By	knitting zeal (Willow Grove, PA United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this book for my son a few months prior to his first birthday to help him learn about the birthday celebration. I also didn't want him to be frightened at his first birthday party with everyone singing to him, which is a lot of stimuli for a baby, so this book helped prepare him. This book is very colorful, filled with sparkley foiled pages and lots of cute surprises. It quickly became one of his favorite stories to read and was a well loved book. I now buy it as a first birthday gift for all the babies in our life. Karen Katz has yet again created a delightful book filled with whimisical illustrations that capture a baby's attention. The "lift the flaps" concept is wonderful for babies and toddlers. This board book is sturdy, but not indestructible. The flaps are glued on, so they can be torn off, but they do repair reasonably well. A great addition to baby's library!

I bought this book for my daughter just before her first birthday and she really enjoyed it. The colors are pretty (nothing garish) and the story is simple. My daughter still wants to read this book now, more than a year later.
