'With spare text, Godwin and Bell paint an exuberant picture of a baby's tumultuous birthday. He is surrounded by an active assortment of toddler chums perfectly depicted in all their happy chaos by Blackwood's vibrant illustrations.'Art of the Picture Book, US (US title Baby Day)

'A nice approach to the classic first-birthday book, offering a sense of play and nuance in both the brief text and the lovely illustrations. Refreshing...with subtleties for adult readers and details for little ones.' Kirkus, US (US title Baby Day)
