Mr. Ahlberg (author of the The Jolly Postman series) rewrites the American folksong to depict a story about a baby's birthday. The detailed, engaging illustrations really make this book wonderful. They actually more add a lot more to the storyline than the words! I loved looking at the Victorian era depictions from houses to clothing to toys. The character's facial expressions are priceless.
*Highly recommend.
