From the creator of Peanut Butter & Cupcake comes a birthday book starring everyone's favorite dessert! What's a cupcake to do when she needs to plan her birthday party? In this hilarious, kid-friendly homage to food and birthdays, Cupcake runs through tons of ideas while her best friend, Blueberry Muffin, finds reasons why they won't work: Soup gets seasick; Donut melts in the sun; someome might get squashed during musical chairs; and Cupcake is not very good at limbo (her icing might get sliced off!). Just as Cupcake is ready to crumble, Blueberry Muffin has one last idea that just might save the day. With laugh-out-loud visual gags (like a band made up of beans--the musical fruit, of course), this book is sure to put a birthday smile on any kid's face (and on adult faces as well). Praise for Happy Birthday, Cupcake!: "As in his earlier picture book, Border's characters are skillfully crafted food items with basic wire limbs arranged in simple landscapes....Preschoolers will be delighted with the visual mayhem."--Kirkus Reviews Praise for Peanut Butter & Cupcake: "Border’s witty food comedy will lure children who are hungry for clever visual entertainment."--Publishers Weekly "[Z]any creative photographs. [A] read-aloud hit."--School Library Journal

The tiny kitten sat alone in a window with a small sign that read "Looking for home. Will work for food." Finally, a nice couple gently picked her up and took her to live with them in their New York City apartment/photographer's studio. And, indeed, work for food she has. Happy Birthday, the Cat is a charming collection of illustrated tales by Birthday the cat. She tells about her adoption on her new owner's birthday, her trips to Central Park and Vermont, and her many photo shoots with other animals, such as parrots, ducks, and turtles. Throughout her stories of high adventure, the authors (and Birthday's owners), Don and Noriko Carroll, have lavishly illustrated the book with photos of their beloved cat. The combination makes for a compelling tale as told from the feline point of view. In picture after picture - Birthday drenched with water during her first bath, Birthday running from a mischievous parrot, Birthday with her beloved rolly ball held firmly in her mouth - the little cat entertains and delights with her sweet expressions and precious narrative. It's a book that's guaranteed to be a best-seller with cat lovers everywhere.
