 A vibrant, lavish celebration of birthday and the uniqueness of each of us November 6, 2008
My children---ages three and five---request this book over and over all through the year and quote it on numerous occasions. It's one that I truly don't mind reading over and over as well. The incredibly colorful illustrations are fantastical and yet the small, wondering boy who experiences all these grand events somehow keeps them almost believable. My favorite part is when the birthday boy stands atop a mountain and shouts, "I am me! I am I! I may not know why but I know that I like it." It teaches children to celebrate their special individual quality without being selfish about it. The book is simply overflowing with a sense of love and nurturing without being maudlin in the least.
 Dr. Seuss does it again October 27, 2008
I ordered this book for my grandaughter, and she loved it. It was a little long for her, but I enjoyed it as much as she did.
Doc's Most Imaginative Tale September 30, 2008
Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby
When I was a child, this book took my breath away. I felt like I was living the incredible adventures in the story, from riding the Birthday Bird to choosing the tallest pet to eating the giant cake. I think this story inspired the adventures I try to create in my own writing.
Now that I'm a mom, I still love this book. It is a little long to hold the attention of toddlers or preschoolers, though, so I recommend it for Kindergarten & up.
1st Birthday Memories... September 21, 2008
I bought this book for both my youngest daughter and our cousin, both who were turning one.
Of course this book is way too advanced for them but I brought it to their 1st birthdays and had everyone who was in attendance sign it. I love looking at all the adorable things people have said and can't wait to show it to them as they get older.
Rips easily September 1, 2008
My 2 yr old son destroyed this book just by turning the pages. I wish it were a board book and not a pop up book.
