School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 3Saying ``birthday cake,'' ``ice cream,'' and ``crackers'' gets the lovable pup's attention focused on the Best Day of All, his master's birthday. In four short chapters, these best buddies enjoy a special breakfast, a party with games and presents, and, of course, cake. And after the fun-filled afternoon, Henry, his parents, and Mudge (all featured in cartoon-style with lots of color) nap in the yard. With this 14th book in the series, Rylant and Stevenson continue to give beginning readers very easy-to-read stories of love and friendship.Gale W.
