Description: In this energetic, rhyming picture book, a young boy is visited by a parade of beloved nursery rhyme and fairy tale characters—three black cats, the man in the moon, Little Bo-Peep, Jack and Jill, and more—each bringing gifts and chaos to his door. As the characters rush in, the boy is swept up in the excitement, unsure why everyone is arriving until the surprise is revealed: it’s his birthday! The story’s repetitive structure and whimsical illustrations make it a joy to read aloud, inviting children to join in and recognize familiar characters. The book cleverly weaves together classic tales, humor, and the anticipation of a birthday celebration, making it a delightful introduction to rhyme, rhythm, and the joy of storytelling. It’s perfect for group reading, phonics practice, and sparking children’s imaginations
