The Birthday Doll

My daughters, ages 3 & 2 just adore this book - I'm not sure why! Maybe it's because they love to sing "ring around the rosy" along with me as I read, maybe because it's such a sweet, charming story, or because the illustrations are so colorful (in a pastel sort of way) and so child-like. I love the illustrations, by Hiroe Nakata who also illustrated one of my all-tiem favorites "Tell Me My Story, Mama". Anyway, it's a charming story and is sure to be a hit with any little girl.
