I'm reviewing a children's book and I've never done it before, so this is a good model for me. I like the comment about a child reader who can figure out the story based on the illustrations alone. Thank you for checking out my review.

Great review! Kids always love the birthday theme in books and this story sounds really cute. I like that the illustrations correspond well with the words. Good picture cues are so important for beginning readers.

Sounds like a good book for kids. Who doesn't like a birthday party?? I like it when a book imports important messages without seeming to. Thank you for the review!
