When the little mouse, Contrary Mary, appears to be unhappy at her most unusual birthday party, her father knows just what to do to get her to laugh.
This book is very simple, but the rhythm is great and it's funto read. It's got beautiful illustrations for the babies to enjoy,a few words for the toddlers to learn, and some clever turns ofphrase that my preschooler is just now picking up on. Highlyrecommended.
Happy birthday, Carl But can Mom surprise him? No way. As hard as Mom tries, Madeleine and her canine babysitter extraordinaire are hot on her trail, tasting the party punch, peeking at presents, and adding some of their own favorite decorations.
