Jealous of her sister's birthday, Frances becomes mean and selfish, until rare generosity and birthday spirit move her to reluctantly give her coveted gift.

Wake up, Mudge! It's Henry's birthday! At first, the floppy dog wants to keep sleeping, but when Henry mentions birthday cake, and ice cream, Mudge's big brown eyes pop open. Join Henry, Mudge, and their friends on a sunny May day filled with balloons, games-and surprises for the little boy and his big dog. This birthday party is every child's dream, especially when it includes crackers from the sky! Cynthia Rylant's Henry and Mudge books are favorite...

Lionel counts down the days to his birthday party by making a time capsule and by letting his sister know what he wants for a present.

Their friends must decide which party to attend when Francine schedules her birthday party for the same day as Arthur's birthday party.

Children use their hands for all kinds of things when they prepare for and go to a birthday party.
