It's My Birthday

A simple, scrumptious birthday story from beloved author-illustrator, Helen Oxenbury.

"It’s my birthday and I’m going to make a cake," a little boy tells his friends. Will they all help? Yes. The chicken gets some eggs; the bear gets some flour; the cat gets butter and milk; the pig gets a pinch of salt.... And they’ll all help to eat the cake too!

" "Small children will love the sense of repetition in this story... It would make a delightful birthday present." Parents "The illustrations are humours and give much to talk about." Child Education"
