It's My Birthday!/Es Mi Cumpleanos! Book

This was one of those nice little books that our library has sitting out for readers who may want to purchase them. As it is a Tomie dePaola book I was intrigued in it while my husband encouraged me to get it so that he could spoil me even though I would probably have been just as fine with reading it there on the spot.

The illustrations were straight on the point and are classic dePaola. There were a few characters that seemed a bit youngish for their roles but otherwise the characters are portrayed quite classic while the colors are bright but still with a tint of soft pastel to them.

What disappointed me with this book is that it is much too brief and only covers the non-religious aspects of Easter. This was a surprise to me since of the facts that the author has done many religious-focused works while some of the aspects that he hosts in the book suggests towards the religion before skipping it.

All in all it was a decent book but not one that I would strongly suggest if you are seeking a religious Easter book. Otherwise if you want to treat your youngest children to how we celebrate a non-religious Easter this would be the perfect stepping stone to the very basic of the holiday.
