Ten Rules of the Birthday Wish

Praise

“A treat that will make any birthday (or storytime) a little happier.”–Booklist

“Satisfyingly humorous and sure to gift readers with guffaws…a gift of a book to open again and again.”–Kirkus Reviews

“It’s a buoyantly told tale, and the digitally enhanced pencil, watercolor, colored-pencil, and pastel illustrations featuring an all-animal cast capture the festive mood of a party where friends are in abundance and wishes always come true.”–The Horn Book

“Lichtenheld’s exuberant mixed-media illustrations offer all the fun of a birthday fete, and images of cartoon critters partying in their own way fortify Ferry’s droll message that there are no intractable rules for celebration.”–Publishers Weekly

“The story has a pervading sweetness, reminding grown-ups to cherish the days of birthday wishes and to celebrate the optimism and hopefulness of young children…a wonderful read-aloud for any time of year.”–School Library Journal
