A Year Full of Holidays

A Year Full of Holidays by Susan Middleton Elya               Hardback Book:  32 pages              

What a cute book!   Told in rhyme it is a story about a little girl’s 5^th birthday party in August and how she wants to know how long it will be before her next birthday party.   Her mother tells her there is something to celebrate in every month until her next birthday.  Good thing she was born in August cause the U.S. doesn’t have anything going that month other than IT IS GREAT BECAUSE IT IS STILL SUMMER!   A few weeks after her birthday the little girl notices her Dad is home on a Monday (Labor Day) and he is barbecuing then she starts school.   A few weeks later it is Halloween!  Then a little later than that it is Thanksgiving (oops they forgot Veterans’ Day!).   Next comes Christmas, then she gets to stay up late for New Years and Valentine’s Day (opps left of Presidents’ Day)  then St. Patrick’s Day, then Easter followed by Mother’s Day and Memorial Day then Father’s Day followed by the 4^th of July – then they went camping on vacation and THEN it was her birthday again!     Very good book.   I would recommend it for all little ones to learn about all the fun to be had in a year.
