Children's Literature
This is a concept book and the inside front cover credits a large team of participants. The concept combines a book with learning skills for very young children with a birthday theme. It is a big book at 12 inches high by 9 inches wide. Pictured is a small blond girl getting ready for and attending her own birthday party. On the first page there is a real pink ribbon, tied into a bow, set into the picture of her dress. The text indicates that the birthday girl needs help fastening her bow and, indeed, there is a large hook and eye behind the bow. On each following page there is a task to be performed-a shoe to buckle, hair to be combed, a package to be wrapped-six in all. Some of them seem a little much for a small child to handle, such as the bow to be tied on a package and even the buckle on the shoe, but this would probably be a happy gift for a little girl to receive anyway. 2002, Silver Dolphin, Ages 2 to 5.— Eleanor Heldrich
