Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 1–This slightly off-kilter take on the be careful what you wish for adage suffers from a lack of internal logic. Zephyr can't wait another hour, minute, or second for her birthday. Finally the big day arrives and at the end of it, when the birthday fairy asks what she wanted, she wishes that it were her birthday every day. Next, she wishes for it to be every minute, then every second, and, finally, things get so frenzied that she asks for it to stop, and goes back to having one every year. The slight story is simply told, with nice repetition and good read-aloud potential, but there is limited plot and some of the language is awkward. Also, the issue that once it is her birthday every day, it is already her birthday every minute and second is likely to frustrate literal-minded youngsters. The mixed-media cartoon art is brightly colored and interesting, and gets increasingly wild as the story unfolds. While libraries needing more books on birthdays may find this an acceptable addition, most others can pass.–Amy Lilien-Harper, The Ferguson Library, Stamford, CT
