Description
Beaver's friends are determined to make his birthday extra special this year! Tortoise, Bird, Rabbit and Squirrel insist on baking his birthday cake, but Beaver isn't so sure. He is the ultimate perfectionist and would rather do it himself, following the recipe exactly. Will Beaver's nitpicky ways ruin his birthday and his friendships? The Perfect Birthday Recipe is the fourth and final story in Katy Hudson's bestselling collection of seasonal picture books, including Too Many Carrots, A Loud Winter's Nap and The Golden Acorn.

Reviews
Hudson's winter landscapes invite the viewer right in with their rich brown branches and evergreens against pale pillowy snow drifts, and kids will be eager to join in with Tortoise's grumpy refrain every time one of his friends asks him why tortoises don't like winter: "They just don't." Bold sound- effect lettering heightens both Tortoise's annoyance at his friends' activities and his own delight when he discovers the pleasures of winter. Tortoise is adorably cranky in his resistance to winter activities, and his friends are encouraging without being pushy. * Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
Hudson's detailed and colorful artwork is sure to attract attention, and the animals are cuddly cute with expressive faces, especially Tortoise's. Combine this with a nonfiction look at hibernation to round out a winter storytime. * Kirkus Reviews *
