The Preposterous Rhinoceros

It's not been a good day for Alvin. No one seems to have remembered that it's his birthday. Neither a goat in a coat, an armadillo floating on a pillow or turtles clearing hurdles will get him to leave his room. A snake with a cake? That just might do it. Full of fun rhymes and Robert Bender's wonderful illustrations, this book is the perfect birthday (or any day book) for young readers.
