Bookroo's summary

Katy Bear's birthday party is a vibrant affair as her animal friends arrive, each wearing clothes of different colors. As the festivities unfold, the lively illustrations and repetitive verses create a playful atmosphere. What surprises await as the party gets underway? This charming tale, based on a classic folk song, invites young readers to explore colors and patterns while joining in the fun. Will Katy's party be as colorful as her friends' outfits?

From the publisher

On Katy’s birthday, all of her animal friends come to the party dressed in clothes of different colors. “A clever extension of a classic American folk song that will be a boon to youngsters’ language development.” – School Library Journal
