From the publisher

It’s a time of questions, wishes, and a search for hidden presents as Lionel prepares to celebrate his birthday. He wonders what it will be like to be older, if there’s any way to be sure a birthday wish will come true, and which is more important-getting the right present, or being surprised? New and returning fans will smile and recognize a little of themselves on every page of this latest episode of Stephen Krensky and Susanna Natti’s wisely funny, true-to-life series. Illustrated by Susanna Natti.
