By Janie Reinart


What can be more fun than a birthday celebration with cake, candles, confetti, balloons, ice 

cream, friends, and presents? Why writing a birthday story of course! So happy birthday 

writing to you.

It's Little Duck's birthday and the whole barnyard is getting ready. Trouble is Little Duck 

doesn't know the first thing about getting ready for her first party. Buy the time the party 

starts, Little Duck has a surprise for everyone.

"It is a very big day on the farm. A cake is baking. Streamers are streaming.

Mice are floating past the window. The invitations have been delivered."

Mason couldn't wait to celebrate his birthday with a sleepover at the museum. The birthday 

boy and his two friends take off on a scavenger hunt through each hall of the museum.  

What hall will be the best place to spend the night?

"Mason couldn't wait. Today was the best day of the year: his birthday! Tonight, he was 

going to have a sleepover at the Museum of Natural History, his favorite place to visit."

It's Ginger's birthday and she's invited all the girls in her class. Things don't go as planned.

No one likes Ginger's silver and gold cake--except Lyla.

"Ginger's birthday party was in two weeks, and she wanted to invite all the girls in her 

class... except Lyla Browning. Lyla Browning was weird: she smelled like old leaves, she 

didn't talk much, and she even brought a tarantula in a pickle jar for Show-and-Tell."

It's Cupcake's birthday and it's time for her to plan a party. But what will all her friends 

enjoy?  Cupcake and her best friend Muffin brainstorm idea after idea, trying to find the 

perfect flavor for her celebration.

"Today's my birthday," Cupcake said, "and I want to share it with friends! But what kind of 

party should I have?" She called Muffin over to plan, and they took a long walk.

So blow out the candles and cut a piece of birthday cake.  Celebrate and write your birthday story!

I'll be looking for my invitation in the mail.  Who wants more ice cream?
