This book discusses the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and how he fought for the freedom of African Americans. It starts off with his day of birth and then goes through his life detailing, in kid friendly text, how "Martin Luther King Day" came about and why we have a day to celebrate him.

With this book, students could write "I have a dream" speeches and read them aloud to the class and display them in the hall. Teachers could also read this book close to Martin Luther King Jr. Day to inform students about why we celebrate him.

Today I turn a whoppin' 33. And I asked everyone for a My Little Pony themed day. My husband and friends delivered. My bestie got me 3 of those Equestria Girls mini figures plus a Rainbow Dash headband and a coffee mug. My husband got me the big MLP Target exclusive Mane 6 pony set plus the Applejack merpony and a handful of glitter blindbags. My mother-in-law got me the InstaPot. And then my daddy sent me some money that I used to order a jigsaw puzzle board, The Art of My Little Pony: The Movie book, and went to Target with the rest and got the Strange Things Vynls of Dustin and Lucas, the Abe Sapien pop, the MLP snow globe, and the Songbird Serenade coin bank and plush. What a haul!! I was on cloud 9.

Plus we ate at a great Korean place for dinner. Had BiBimbop. Mmmmmm. 

I hope you guys had a great day, too.

Happy Birthday! - Mamoru Suzuki

We received this book to give an honest review.

A very cute story with very good pictures that tell of how your birthday came to be. From the time you were born to the time you crawled and so forth. Happy Birthday! Is very fitting for this story. There is too many words to the page and I think that is perfect for the younger kids because they mostly like to look at pictures. Now the only thing I will say about the book that may ask questions is the part where the mom is breastfeeding the baby. Now it doesn't bother me at all and I am all for it, but for some people it may. 

I did like the ending where it says "Fly wherever and with whomever you would like! It doesn't matter how far you go; I will love you. Always." This is the perfect way to end this story. 

3.5 stars... Though, I haven't read anything of this series so far. But I'm intrigued...

I enjoyed reading this book. It's a very quick and easy read, but quite funny and adorable.

This is the first Bad Kitty book I have read after the [book:Bad Kitty|690955] picture book, which I also enjoyed. While this book does have chapter headings, there is not very much text and it mostly relies on the pictures. This is not inherently bad, but I think it is good to know going into it. It reads more like a picture book or graphic novel, rather than a chapter book.

I did like that there were little educational things thrown in like why cats can't eat chocolate, why cats scratch things, and different breeds of cats. It's a great way for young readers to learn about cats in a fun and humorous way.

Great book for cat lovers. This is a fun read that we cat people can really relate to.
