Summary: A wonderful addition to my poetry library!
Comment: This is a wonderful celebration of a child's most momentous occasion, their birthday! As a teacher, I use this book to spend a few moments on each child's birthday to share a fun poem! The children love to read these on their own after I've shared them orally. Another favorite title to show children how important they are is On the Day You Were Born.

Summary: Illustrations mar the collection!
Comment: This otherwise fine collection is marred by Knight's illustrations of a child playing Indian! In the party scene, children wear hats, including a feathered headband. Now, anyone can CHOOSE to be a pirate, or a sailor, or one can BECOME a prince or princess. But, one cannot CHOOSE to be a Native American, nor can they BECOME one simply by putting on a feathered headband. Teachers and parents interested in social justice can point this out to children if they choose to buy the book. Consider the parallel: if you are going to allow children to "be" a Native American, then it is only fair to allow them to "be" a Jew or an African American, or Asian American, or Latino/a American. We readily acknowledge that it would be inappropriate to dress up in blackface, etc. The same acknowledgement and respect is due Native Americans.
