"A treat that will make any birthday (or storytime) happier." - Booklist

"It’s a buoyantly told tale, and the digitally enhanced pencil, watercolor, colored-pencil, and pastel illustrations featuring an all-animal cast capture the festive mood of a party where friends are in abundance and wishes always come true." - The Horn Book

"A gift of a book to open again and again." - Kirkus

"Lichtenheld’s exuberant mixed-media illustrations offer all the fun of a birthday fete, and images of cartoon critters partying in their own way fortify Ferry’s droll message that there are no intractable rules for celebration." - Publishers Weekly
