About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their preschooler is consumed with birthday excitement and developing a "me, me, me" attitude about their upcoming celebration. This story follows Albert the dinosaur on his special day at school. He's thrilled to be the center of attention but becomes frustrated and jealous when his friends have their own news to share or want to play different games. Albert learns that a birthday is even more fun when you celebrate together, rather than demanding everyone focus only on you. It's a perfect tool for ages 3-5, gently validating the big feelings of a birthday child while modeling how to navigate social expectations and find joy in sharing.
