About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is eagerly anticipating a birthday and needs a story that mirrors their excitement. It centers on Tina T. Spoon's special day, when all her friends from the cutlery drawer and kitchen cupboard, like the Knife and Dish families, come over for a party. The story celebrates the simple joys of friendship, games, and cake, wrapped in a silly, imaginative package. Its gentle humor and focus on the happy, if slightly messy, chaos of a celebration make it a perfect read-aloud for preschoolers. It's a wonderful way to build excitement and normalize the boisterous fun of a child's birthday party.
What Parents Should Know

Ideal Reader
A 3 to 5 year old who is approaching their own birthday or has recently attended a party. This child enjoys stories with personified objects and gentle, silly humor.
