Helen Oxenbury
It's My Birthday
Hardcover
(Walker Books Ltd Jan. 1, 1994)
The toddler in this story is celebrating his birthday and wants to make a cake. So he asks his animal friends for help in getting the ingredients. The chicken gets some eggs; the bear gets flour; the cat gets butter and milk; the pig gets a pinch of salt; the dog gets sugar; and the monkey gets some cherries. They all help him to make the cake - and eat it. Pictures of the toddler speaking to his friends are juxtaposed with full-page illustrations showing how they get the various ingredients. Helen Oxenbury's other children's book include "Farmer Duck" (winner of the 1991 Smarties Prize), "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" (winner of the 1989 Smarties Prize), "First Picture Books" and the "Pippo" series of books.
