The birthday child's animal friends bring ingredients and help make a birthday cake.

I wake up and get dressed. Today is no ordinary day. It's a special day. We're having a party! I am going to decorate; we'll have visitors and a cake.... It's my birthday! And when it's your birthday, everything is different. A book with half pages that hide and reveal what happens on a very special day.

Children excitedly discuss the details of their upcoming birthdays.

For a young child, there’s nothing more exciting than a birthday party. This book takes a fun look at a child’s birthday with the help of color photographs and strong picture/text correlation. With a strong narrative set in a family environment, beginning readers will love diving into a birthday party filled with friends, family, and presents! Games and a birthday cake highlight what is always a special day for a young child.

It's Dinah's birthday and Tyler has a wonderful surprise for her. It starts with Brown Rabbit playing 'Happy Birthday ' on a brass horn and, as each new guest arrives, it gets more and more surprising With games and dancing and crocodile rides there's something special for Dinah from all of her friends.

A sweet and simple book, “It’s My Birthday, Too!” is modeled after my own son, Chad, who has now celebrated quite a few birthdays! Like Chad, the book’s hero, Andrew, loves birthdays and all things connected to them: the song, presents, cake, balloons, and the growing anticipation leading up to his own, very special birthday. Andrew’s birthday is on the same day as Jesus’ birthday, Christmas. Each birthday that Andrew’s family celebrates is cause for his increasing excitement and his never-ending statement/question, “it’s my birthday too!” Andrew’s mommy tries to calm him and reassure him that he will, indeed, be celebrating his own birthday too, but “not yet.” Chad, my own “birthday boy” was born the day after Christmas and came home wrapped in a stocking. While he liked Christmas, he loved Jesus, and once, when he was shown a picture of Santa Claus and asked, “Who is this, Chad?” he answered, “Noah!” This book is for him, and for anyone who knows and loves (or perhaps was and is?) a child with a delightful spirit such as his, and such as Andrew’s in “It’s My Birthday, Too!”

Its my birthday. Many people like to dance when they are celebrating their birthdays. I am from Guyana, and every time I have a party for my birthday, I like to dance with my friends. It is quite a fulfilling experience to move my body to the music beats and to the sounds of the African drums. I am always very excited and motivated when I hear music from the Caribbean and around the world. I like the happiness that dancing generates. I get to relieve myself of stress and nervous tension. I like the exercise and the burning up of calories as I dance around and sing the songs about love. I find this very exhilarating and liberating.
