birthday time!

It's the raja's king's birthday. He has invited his animal friends to his party. They all try to find the perfect gift to bring for the king. After discussing the gifts they have chosen they find out the king has all the things they planed to give him. They finally arrive at the party empty handed. The king is so happy to see them and they have a great time. Their friendship is the only gift the king needed after all. On several of the pages the words were typed in an unusual ways. This made it fun to read. We also enjoyed the colorful illustration. Also included is a brief history on numbers that we found very informative. We would recommend this book because it had a great moral to the story: You don't have to have gifts to have a good time. Friendship is the most important gift of all.
