I went to the library one day and I found this book。 I decided to read it because I wanted to bring back memories of when i would read these books when I was little。 I thought this book was good。
Cherish Brown,
(4☆ Would recommend)Dr。 Seuss books are great for learning, since they have such colorful pages, engaging pictures, and rhyme。 Kids love them。

Dr Seuss is a classic
David Duncan,
Love this book! It's amazing how many pages Dr。 Seuss was able to get out of one book about a birthday。 Very creative, funny, with lots of rhyming of course! I read it over and over again to our daughter。 Love this book!

I usually love Dr。 Seuss, but this book was a little boring for me。 My kids on the other hand, had a great time flipping open all of the flaps to see what was behind each。 So, it does have some entertainment value for small kids。。。 and it is short。

Leila,
What a wonderful celebration of YOU! I love that this book helps children understand how special they are and that one day each year people celebrate not only that they are here, but who they are。 Excellent children's book, though I think to keep it special, just read it once a year on their birthday!

Kaylynn Johnsen,
I am always surprised to find that a Seuss book slipped through my life unnoticed。 This lovely story is about how they do birthdays in Katroo。
Allyson Goose,
Silly book about what happens on your birthday in the land of Katroo。 I liked the emphasis on it being a great day because it's a celebration of the birthday child, with the idea that every person's uniqueness is a great thing。 I also get swept away in the magical world of winding staircases, silly animals and rhyme。 The book is so long, though, that I don't want to read it to my kids before bedtime。 Silly book about what happens on your birthday in the land of Katroo。 I liked the emphasis on it being a great day because it's a celebration of the birthday child, with the idea that every person's uniqueness is a great thing。 I also get swept away in the magical world of winding staircases, silly animals and rhyme。 The book is so long, though, that I don't want to read it to my kids before bedtime。 。。。more

Seuss is so close to my heart, definitely needed this right now! "There is no one alive who is you-er than you! Shout loud, 'I am lucky to be what I am!' Thank goodness I'm not just a clam or a ham。。。" Side note: before I added my review the rating was 4。13* which is my birthday。 Just thought that was wild。 Seuss is so close to my heart, definitely needed this right now!

Freddie D,
On of the longer Dr Suess books but every bit as fun and nonsensical。 I would love to have my birthday in Katroo!
Dawn,
I bought this for my mom, who, turning 69 during this pandemic, and facing all the uncertainty and fears that have come with it, is feeling old。 I wanted to at least make her smile - so on a whim I chose "Happy Birthday to You!" and of course I had to read it and make sure it was silly enough。 Dr。 Seuss doesn't disappoint。 The book is fun, funny, ridiculous, impossible - or is it? :) It's a bit of a wacky escape and I hope it does the trick to distract her from both her age and the state of the I bought this for my mom, who, turning 69 during this pandemic, and facing all the uncertainty and fears that have come with it, is feeling old。 I wanted to at least make her smile - so on a whim I chose "Happy Birthday to You!" and of course I had to read it and make sure it was silly enough。 Dr。 Seuss doesn't disappoint。 The book is fun, funny, ridiculous, impossible - or is it? :) It's a bit of a wacky escape and I hope it does the trick to distract her from both her age and the state of the world as she tries to celebrate surviving in it another year。 。。。more

Despite being a Seuss fan, this was new to us。 Lots of silly content!

Give or take a few hours, exactly 60 years and two days ago I was read my first Dr, Seuss book, Happy Birthday to You! My mother read it to me as a bed time story the night before my birthday。 I want to say that waking early that day I may re-read it to myself, or maybe the pictures tell the story so well, it only felt like reading。 The problem was that I more than a little expected to be greeted by the Great Birthday Bird of Katroo。 The rest of the day I was aware of a serious lacking of unlimi Give or take a few hours, exactly 60 years and two days ago I was read my first Dr, Seuss book, Happy Birthday to You! My mother read it to me as a bed time story the night before my birthday。 I want to say that waking early that day I may re-read it to myself, or maybe the pictures tell the story so well, it only felt like reading。 The problem was that I more than a little expected to be greeted by the Great Birthday Bird of Katroo。 The rest of the day I was aware of a serious lacking of unlimited hot dogs on a continuous spool。 Since then I have made up for it with the occasional splurge at sumptuous brunches, or what the Birthday people of Katroo called a Smorgasbord。 To be fair I never developed much skill at eating with my feet。A half dozen decades later this book remains very much first in my memory of all Dr Seuss。 It exceeds with wonderful fluid drawings, whimsy, and fun forced rhymes (Best and Dressed, in fact you can always add an ‘est’ anytime you need a rhyming word)。 The Happy Birthday book is my favorite, the one I most remember and one I just treated myself by re reading。 Ryan, where ever you are, if you wonder who got your copy: I am I。 And I hope you have at least 60 more happy birthdays。 。。。more
Michelle,
It´s a really great story but a little bit long for a bedtime story, I think I enjoyed it more than my son。 I am a big Dr。 Seuss fan!

Everyone should read this book on their BIRTHDAY!
Jaimie,
Dr。 Seuss' books are always adorable and full of whimsical joy, and this miniature pop-up book celebrating birthdays is no exception。 It's a short 6 tableaus long, but in typical Seussical fashion it's jam-packed with bright colours, adventure, and ridiculous rhymes that are sure to please any birthday recipient。 Of course, Seuss doesn't choose to rehash typical birthday greetings, and instead send readers to Katroo。 There they meet the birthday bird, an almost-phoenix like bird of red and gold, Dr。 Seuss' books are always adorable and full of whimsical joy, and this miniature pop-up book celebrating birthdays is no exception。 It's a short 6 tableaus long, but in typical Seussical fashion it's jam-packed with bright colours, adventure, and ridiculous rhymes that are sure to please any birthday recipient。 Of course, Seuss doesn't choose to rehash typical birthday greetings, and instead send readers to Katroo。 There they meet the birthday bird, an almost-phoenix like bird of red and gold, perflectly fitting the theme of new adventures for a new years who guides them through the adventures for their special day。 We're treated to feasts, gifts, and even more feasts before the day closes out with a reminder that like birthdays we are all specially unique and should be celebrated for being US! The only real issue with this book is with some of the pop-up mechanics。 They work well enough, but are a bit delicate and are clearly prone to breakage with too much use。 A higher quality paper or slightly adjusted measurements would likely solve this problem, as the mechanics themselves are pretty simple and straightforward。 。。。more
Brhea P,
I love Dr Seuss books, and this one is one of my favorites! The illustrations are great and it would be a great birthday gift or as a keepsake。
Riley,
This book is the book my entire family reads the night before any of our birthdays。 It is just a special book to me, and it was written by my favorite childhood author, Dr。 Seuss。
Lin Elle,
I should probably just read books ahead of time because this got ridiculous。 I had to get an audiobook of this online。 Anyway, this is actually a good book? As always, Dr。 Seuss serves with his great rhymes。 He makes the most nonsensical words fit perfectly into his stories。 The book doesn’t really, as another review said, serve for any purpose other than for a Happy Birthday so I can’t rate it any higher。 I read this for you, Madeleine。 With my short attention span, I had to speed it up to 1。5x I should probably just read books ahead of time because this got ridiculous。 I had to get an audiobook of this online。 Anyway, this is actually a good book?
