Synopsis by the author/publisher
Today is Albert's birthday and he can barely sit still! There are friends and balloons and party games, but will the day end with one special surprise?​
“"Here you go, Albert," said Mom. "This one is from Dad and me." She handed the last package to Albert. It was round. Like a kickball. Or maybe a globe. Definitely not like a scooter."”
