This would be a fun book to read for a birthday themed storytime. Kids will have fun correcting all the backwards things, and the menagerie of party hat-wearing animals is adorable. There's a lot going on illustration-wise, so it's also good for one-on-one sharing -- that will give kids an opportunity to spot fun details like the little dust mite creature and the cat blowing into the wrong end of the clarinet. A winner!

They are detailed with many, though slightly muted bright colors, dynamic and extend the story beyond the lines from the song.
