I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a simple retelling of "Happy Birthday" Spanish version. Simple pictures, bright, and text in English and Spanish.

This would be a great book to give to a child on their birthday. The book is a lift the flap board book, which has text in english and spanish. The text is presented as a song, so that you can sing Happy Birthday to your child. The illustrations are beautiful and they are full of little animals and birthday items. The book is quite short, but it is very cute. My daughter and I enjoyed it very much.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The artwork wasn't *quite* as cute in this one and the English book was first and -then- the Spanish book as opposed to the other books where the Spanish translations were right on the same page. Still really cute and really informative!

I think this book would definitely be much better in a physical book instead of the ebook version I read. The illustrations were really cute and I enjoyed them.

If you remember the excitement of your birthday as a kid and multiply it x 10, you will get a glimpse of the energy in this book! Bright colors and simple zoomed in illustrations make you a direct part of this birthday celebration. This is a playful fun book for storytimes and individual reading. Perfect for PK-1st!

This was a cute little book to teach kids another language, and is a really fund birthday book to have a little fun for them, on their birthday. We enjoyed the bright illustrations as well.

This was a cute bilingual book that would make a great birthday gift. The illustrations were bright and appealing, and the tabs you could pull on would be so entertaining for younger kids.

The Birthday Book is a bilingual title that is based on a Mexican song.  The virtual copy that I read cannot fully show how much fun this book could be; it can be read accordion style and has flaps to lift.  Still, I could see the bright and cheerful illustrations and could enjoy the simple text.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.
