"Gr 1-4--The Bright family uses a wall calendar. Cooper sees his mother's notation about Grandma's birthday and announces it to his family. A family discussion follows about what they should do to celebrate. Cooper wants to throw her a party. His mom is worried that they may not have enough time to get everything done. They come up with a plan, and if everyone does their part, it will be a great party for all to enjoy. Author Chytilová, with fellow author Harastová and illustrator Teimoy, have created an information-packed STEM book in a fun, family-friendly way. Parents can use this book to plan a party for their parents or other family members or friends, and reinforce what children are taught in school. It is a combination of reading skills with text features and a pattern of introducing facts, which can be hands-on learning for students. It's a great way to build children's vocabulary as they master mathematical and scientific facts and procedures. It is also designed to support differentiation instruction. VERDICT This book is an excellent resource for teachers who can plan an entire thematic unit around it.--Laura Ellis" - School Library Journal
