Illustrated by
Hilary Knight.
Reissued with a new jacket, this small, perfectly child-sized gathering of poems follows a boy through a day of birthday preparation and celebration. Authors of the sixteen short poems include Dr. Seuss, Aileen Fisher, and Myra Cohn Livingston. Knight's typically exuberant watercolor and pen pictures provide a dose of high spirits just right for the festivities.
