This book is aimed more towards early elementary, preferably K-3rd grade. This book offers great illustrations that are appealing to the eye, along with a text that can be lengthy but the word usage is perfect for early elementary readers. This story is very easy to follow along and gives great perspectives about birthdays. Another great part about this book is that all students can make connections with it and become super engaged from the beginning to the end.

This book is about a little girl whose parents share memories with her of each of her birthdays up until her 6th birthday. But what happens on her 6th birthday?
Educational Purpose:
I will read this book to my students. After I read the book, I will ask my students if any of them got the best birthday present ever. I will allow them to share with their class. Then I will have them write in their journals. The prompt will be "The best birthday present I got was...". After they write in their journals and check with me, I will ask them to draw a picture of their birthday present.
