A reminder that birthday's are special

When do birthday's become just ordinary days? Is it after the age of 30? Or maybe even before that? And why do we tend to cringe when we think about our birthday?

Dr. Seuss, in his classic book "Happy Birthday to You" reminds us that birthdays are meant to be celebrated! At least they are in Katroo...where the Birthday Bird gives the "hi-sign-and shake just for you". So begins the birthday adventure which includes eating whatever you like (even fettucine alfredo or a chocolate-marshmallow milkshake if you so desire, or in the case of the book, hotdogs with plenty of mustard) It's also a day of entertainment, like being pulled through the air by "funicular goats" (you have to see 'em to believe 'em) and gifts (of course cost is no object) topped off with a FABULOUS party at the Birthday Pal-alace complete with a serenade by Dr. Derring's Singing Herrings (singing, spelling herrings that is!)

And that's just a little taste of this Seuss tale... one that was read to me growing up, on my own birthday. On the big day, Mom would wake me (and each of my siblings on their respective birthday's) with a reading of "Happy Birthday to You" and a piece of birthday cake for breakfast. Cake for breakfast you say? Of course! It certainly started the birthday-day out right. It's a tradition that I continue with my son. Because birthday's are special and deserve to be treated as such. Whether you're 3, 43 or 103, how often do you have a day that celebrates YOU?

Start a tradition in your family and read "Happy Birthday to You" on the morning of a birthday (and what the heck, maybe throw in a slice of cake and some ice cream too...they'll love you for it!)

Seuss ends the book with the Birthday Bird flying the happy, but tired birthday child home on a very soft platter and putting him to bed. The last lines are my favorite: "So that's what the Birthday Bird does in Katroo. And I wish I could do all these great things for you!"

Read this classic, imagine yourself in Katroo, and have yourself a Happy Birthday!

Best Birthday Book Ever and Best Poet Ever

This is literally the best birthday book in the world and was written by the greatest poet of all time. What an amazingly fantastical, magical birthday journey! This lets every person know just how special it really is to have been born. I think this is a great book for both self-esteem and celebration.

I read this as a tradition on the morning of my birthday every year, though I have long been a grown-up. I dream of a birthday like this with travels, feasts, a Birthday Bird guide, parties, and presents. This is such a great escape and a joy to experience. I plan to continue to revel in the celebration of my birth as I enjoy this adventure again and again, year after year.

The Best 1st Birthday Gift!

I have loved Dr. Seuss books since my mother read them to my younger sister and me when we were little girls at nap time. This is the second copy of this book I have purchased this year to continue the tradition with my two niece's children that both turned one this year. It is a perfect book for reading on a child's birthday to make them feel special. The colorful pictures and wonderful rhyming brings out the giggles in both children and adults.

Never to Old for Dr. Seuss

Found this book in the waiting room at the kids Doctor's Office. My oldest started reading it out-loud and was enjoying it so much that he asked for the book as a gift for his 16th birthday! Goes to show that one is never to old for Dr. Seuss!!

Happy Birthday to you is fabulous

I had this book as a child and loved it then. Now that I am a parent, all of Dr. Seuss' books are a must. This one happens to be one of my favorites. I highly recommend it. It's also the perfect gift for little ones on their birthday.
