Holidays have different characters to represent them, so why not a Birthday Queen?  Audrey and Don Wood have created a colorful, fun tale celebrating birthdays.  The Birthday Queen has her work cut out for her.  She writes invitations, test games for suitability, auditions clowns, bakes cakes, wraps presents, and magically has decorations ready when guests arrive.  As usual, Don Wood’s paintings are large, warm, and vivid.  One cannot help but feel the love and joy the Birthday Queen shares with you, the birthday child.  Not until the last page does the reader discover the Queen is actually “your mom”.  This book will probably be most appreciated by mothers!
