Happy Birthday, Humphrey! " It was a very special day. It was Humphrey's birthday!" Getting ready for his very own party is lots of fun for Humphrey, especially when he is wearing his favorite birthday present-a real superhero suit! Humphrey can't wait for the guests to arrive, or for the games and presents and lovely things to eat. When everyone does come, Humphrey feels a little shy, and even though it is his special day and he is such a big boy now, sometimes he still gets upset. But Mommy and Daddy and Lottie all help Humphrey to feel better, and his birthday party ends just the way it should-with cake and singing!
My daughter stumbled across a stuffed Humphrey elephant, and it quickly became her most prized possesion. Humphrey is popular is Great Britain, but harder to find here. We were thrilled to find out that there's a series of books too. The illustrations in the books are just precious. The colors are soft, and the details are darling. Humphrey's Birthday is very sweet. The author puts you back into the mind and innocence of being little and having a special day. My daughter has enjoyed this book for more than a year, and she still wants to read it all the time. This book makes a GREAT birthday present/keepsake book. If you like this one, check out the whole series!
Such a lovely introduction to birthdays!

I absolutely love this book, and so does my 2-year-old! I got it for her just before her 2nd birthday to introduce the concept to her, and she is completely captivated by it. Like all the Humphrey books, it's so beautiful to look at, the characters and their little dilemmas are easy to identify with, and the story is just warm and lovely. Classic Humphrey and Lottie fun!
