Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you! Since 1959, Happy Birthday to You!—Dr. Seuss’s joyous ode to individuality—has allowed readers to experience firsthand the thrill of celebrating a birthday as it is done in Katroo. Awakened by the Birthday Bird, you (the reader) are swept out of town on a Smorgasbord’s back to begin a day and night of feasting and feting in such Seussian splendor that it will take 20 days to sweep up the mess! And while Random House can’t possibly compete with the folks in Katroo, we are making available a special Party Edition of the book—featuring its luscious full-color artwork printed on foil—to celebrate its 50th year in print. Consider it icing on the cake!

This new edition of a favorite picture book is for children from two to four. It is a "very first" picture book in every sense, planned for the child who points to a cow and says "Moo," to a sheep and says "Baaa," to a duck and says "Quark" and so on. It is all about a little boy who was hunting for a present. "Good morning, Mrs. Hen," says Danny, "Can you give me something for my mother's birthday?" So he asks all the animals and nothing seems right for a present until at last he meets Mr. Bear. It is fun to guess what Mr. Bear whispered to Danny, and of course the last picture shows.With its gay and realistic colors, its very clear pictures of favorite animals, and its simple and charming idea, Ask Mr. Bear has become a classic among books for youngest children.

Mexico’s Day of the Dead fascinates U.S readers, whether for its joyful celebration of an unusual tradition or because it simply feels like home. San Vicente lets children join the celebration as they watch the skeletons rock, rattle, and roll those long old bones as they get ready for the biggest event of their social calendar. A short and fun essay, directed toward young readers, will explain this important Mexican holiday.
The works of Mexico City artist Luis San Vicente have been exhibited in Mexico, Venezuela, Europe, and the United States. He has won UNESCO’s prestigious NOMA Encouragement Concours Prize for Illustration, and UNESCO honored his work (1997, 1998, and 1999) in their prestigious Youth and Children’s Catalog of Illustrations.
