Editorial Reviews

The Barnes & Noble Review
David Carter is having a buggy birthday bash in this whimsical pop-up book, similar in style and format to his bestselling The 12 Bugs of Christmas and Bed Bugs. With eye-catching paper engineering elements sure to put any young reader in a party mood, Carter's fiesta includes a trove of Birthday Bugs: smiley-faced Balloon Bugs, Party Hat Bug (kids can take out the party hat and wear it), Birthday Worms in a ribboned box, and a hilarious Root Beer Float Bug that comes out when you flip down the birthday box. But Carter's real treat comes at the end, when readers can use an envelope full of Birthday Candle Bugs to decorate a glorious birthday cake, making a pop-up surprise kids will be sure to giggle over. With simple, zippy illustrations and even lines on the back cover to inscribe names for gift giving, this googly-eyed extravaganza is the perfect way for David Carter's legions of fans to celebrate their birthdays year after year.
