I ordered this book for my young toddler because he was so fond of "Time for School Mouse" and "Happy Easter Mouse." I thought this book would be about birthdays, but it is really about having dessert for breakfast.I could never have guessed from the foodless cover that the entire text would read: "Today is Mouse's birthday! He can have whatever he wants for breakfast. Maybe he should have some pancakes. Or he might like a donut instead. The cupcakes look delicious. A brownie would be just the thing. But the muffins smell so good! Then he decides what he REALLY wants... He wants a cookie! Happy birthday, Mouse!"Sure, it is cute. And no book about birthdays would be complete without mention of cake. But since this is a board book, aimed at the youngest children, I had hoped it would explore birthday celebrations beyond just sweets, especially for breakfast.Also note this book is described as "hardcover" but it is truly a board book.
I expected more from this author. My daughter and I love the If you Give A...series and so I thought this would be a great book to give my daughter for her second birthday. It was very boring. You may be saying, well, it's a board book, not meant to be riveting reading material. I would say that maybe that used to be the case, but there are so many great board books out there now. This one is basically the mouse deciding what he wants to eat because it's his birthday and he can have whatever he wants. He basically goes through a list of what his friends like in the If You Give A...series. So there are muffins, pancakes, etc. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....There are better birthday board book options out there - skip this one.
This is not her best book... She obviously mentions the food in all of her other books but its not that great if you dont get that (i.e. not 5 or older). I just thought it was ok. Happy Valentine's Day Mouse is by far the best of the collection of the event books if you are looking around.
This book helped explain birthdays to my son. He just turned 4 and right before his birthday we have this to him. All he could talk about was cake! He's never been the type that likes the cake but he was excited to try after reading this book.
My 2 year old loves this series. So I thought this would be a cute birthday book. It is cute and follows along with the series but it has a lot to do with food and very little about birthday. I was a bit disappointed but Im sure my son will still like to read it.
This little board book is a wonderful way to introduce the youngest up and coming readers to the world of Laura Neumeroff & Felicia Bond. As I make it a habit to give all the Laura Neumeroff/Felicia Bond books to all the young people in my life because these books last for years on their books shelves I especially like these little board books for each holiday of an infant or toddler's life because they can actually hold them and begin to put the story together just from the pictures and key words. All the young mother's I know love them!
Sweet little book - nice illustrations and cute story. Great birthday gift for a young child. Recommend it and others in the series.
The other Mouse books were great. This one does not really have any type of plot or storyline.
