Happy Birthday, Little Pookie

Little Pookie is up before dawn because . . . it's Pookie's birthday, and Pookie just can't wait to celebrate! Pookie's Mom gently coaxes her little one back to bed-but not for long!-in this delightful board book.
 
The celebration begins as Daddy makes Pancakes Supreme, and an energetic and excited Pookie parties on all day. Told in Sandra Boynton's signature humorous rhyme, the story also expresses sweet and sincere parental love and support. The joyous artwork is detailed and exuberant, and is guaranteed to please toddlers and their caregivers on their birthday and every day.
