Say “happy birthday,” Dr. Seuss-style! This classic picture book whisks readers away on the most spectacular birthday of all time—and reminds them to celebrate themselves every day of the year!

I wish we could do what they do in Katroo.
They sure know how to say “Happy birthday to you!”

When the Great Birthday Bird of Katroo arrives to usher in your “Day of all Days,” you can expect a colorful romp full of fantastical fun that is all about YOU! Treat yourself to flowers that smell like licorice and cheese. Pick out the world’s tallest pet—or a nice Time-Telling Fish. Then prepare for a party so grand it will take twenty days just to sweep up the mess.

Featuring birthday festivities on every page, this joyful classic from the one and only Dr. Seuss rejoices in the person you were born to be!
 
Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

From The Cat in the Hat to Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, his iconic characters, stories, and art style have had a lasting influence on generations of children and adults. The books he wrote and illustrated under the name Dr. Seuss (along with others he wrote but did not illustrate, under the pseudonyms Theo. LeSieg and Rosetta Stone) have been published in fifty languages. Hundreds of millions of copies have found their way into homes and hearts around the world. Dr. Seuss’s long list of awards includes Caldecott Honors, the Pulitzer Prize, and eight honorary doctorates.
