I liked this book because I thought it was a fun read. I think that the writing flowed from one thought to the next simply because the rules progressed sequentially. I feel like the story also flowed because this was a rhyming book. The author did a great job of using language to describe the mood. For example she used words like “cheer, smile, happiness, etc.”. I also believe that the illustrations do a good job of complementing the words/ rules on the page. The illustrations are light, colorful and playful. The big picture of this book is that birthdays are fun and exciting, but the reader should realize that a new year means that they can be a new them. ( )

Percy is the birthday boy who has a set of ten rules for making the most of your birthday. The book is told in rhyme and all of Percy's rules are sure to add more pleasure to a little one's special day. . From looking your best, to adding friends and family to eating the cake, the excellent illustrations enable the reader to see how much fun Percy and his very lively and funny dog are having. The perfect book to share with a class over and over during the year on each child's birthday..
