PICTURE BOOKS
Osborne, Mary Pope

Happy Birthday, America

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Peter Catalanotto. In this patriotic picture book, a young boy describes his family's celebration of the nation's birthday. Osborne's description of their day at the park, with its pet parade, food and game booths, talent show, face painting, and band concert, presents a realistic slice of Americana, small-town style. The luminous watercolors depict the enthusiasm of the narrator and his family throughout the day.
