Happy Birthday. Jesse Bear! — Nancy White Carlstrom

Three Cheers for Birthdays! It's Jesse Bear's birthday, and everyone's invited to the party! There are balloons and crepe paper streamers, presents, games and prizes, and of course a birthday cake with candles to make a wish on -- plus a special gift from Mama and Papa. Jesse wants the party to go on forever! Nancy White Carlstrom's exuberant rhymes and Bruce Degen's warm pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations once again invite young readers into Jesse Bear's familiar, joyful world.
