Kindergarten-Grade 3?Full-page, full-color art done by children between the ages of 9 and 13 is the basis of this book that shows birthday celebrations around the world. The child's name, age, and country appear below each picture. The text consists of two rhyming lines per double-page spread. This colorful title is suitable for story times, general reading, and for use in the classroom. End notes provide additional information about the celebrations in the various countries included. A welcome addition and a good discussion starter.?Denise Furgione, Atlantic County Library, Mays Landing, NJ

Product Description
Every child has a birthday, but not every birthday is celebrated in quite the same way. In the U.S., children blow out candles on a cake. In Scotland, one lucky guest may find a surprise baked into the birthday cake. In China, children eat long noodles to celebrate the long life of their grandparents. Brightly colored art by children around the world combines with the simple, rhyming text to create a global birthday party young readers will return to year after year. Full color.
