School Library Journal - 09/06/2024 PreS-Gr 1—Cedric and Boo are great friends. They even have birthdays close together. When Boo's birthday comes, Cedric is sure to make him something special. But when it is Cedric's birthday, lots of friends give him presents and cards—except Boo. How could his best friend forget his birthday? Eventually, Cedric tells Boo that his birthday has passed, and Boo feels terrible. Swiftly, he whips up a cake and a surprise party for Cedric. This mends the bridge between them, and now both friends can be silly and play together. Pronounced drawings of Cedric and Boo will make them enduring characters in any home or library. Bold and simple text makes this a perfect book for early readers or as a read-aloud. VERDICT Young children will enjoy the endearing characters in this relatable book.—Kelly Richards - Copyright 2024 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
