Reviews"A topsy-turvy song from Chapin's 1994 children's recording, Zag Zig , becomes an equally zippy picture book.... Madcap silliness reigns "at the backwards birthday party!/ the partyday birthwards back," and Groenink ( Santa Clauses ) keeps pace, creating a rowdy menagerie of animal partygoers (an ape puffs into the wrong end of a clarinet, a cat and goose share a pair of pants) who sing and dance the night away--or is it morning? The mixed-media illustrations hum with energy, movement, and color, capturing the spirit of this anything-goes celebration.", "A topsy-turvy song from Chapin's 1994 children's recording, Zag Zig , becomes an equally zippy picture book....

The mixed-media illustrations hum with energy, movement, and color, capturing the spirit of this anything-goes celebration.", [A]n admirably illustrated version of a catchy tune created by Chapin and Forster in 1994 on the album Zig Zag . Youngsters will delight in the story's wackiness.... Nonconformity abounds.... The birthday boy, with his modish look, is surrounded by almost two-dozen happy animal friends in colorful yet muted tones created with pencil, Photoshop, and gouache. The detailed illustrations, the backwards text, and the illogical succession of events offer great opportunities for discussion, especially letter knowledge and narrative skills, and, of course, there's the added benefit of singing the text as well. Music is included on the endpapers., What if birthdays were backward'.... A bouncing, jovial rhyme describes the reversed sequencing.... Colorful, appealing illustrations portray the boy and his animal friends with just the right amount of detail as they eat cake first thing (hurray!) and the boy wraps presents and hands them out to each animal...all is smooth and silly here. Youngsters will giggle along with this lighthearted selection as they relish all the important moments that birthdays bring and learn about sequencing and time in an enjoyable way. A nice selection for any collection and, of course, an excellent birthday present.
