5.0 out of 5 stars A gift for a child to keep, 30 Jan 2009
I bought The Birthday Book for my 9 year old grandson and when it arrived was delighted with the quality overall. Lovely illustrations and exciting, interesting stories, Just right for the story at bedtime that children love. Most of all it is a book to keep and later to hand on to other children when the owner can bear to part with it.
