[Morris · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the illustrations in this book. They are simple and use primary colors, and they are sure to draw the eyes of young readers. The birthday party theme includes a lot of fun things to point out in the pictures. The lesson of your wishes may be answered in different ways than you expect is an important one.
