Celebrate Magenta's birthday with Blue! Inside cover: "Birthdays are one of the most important events in a child's year - a whole day dedicated just to them! As children enter the preschool years, attending birthday parties for others becomes commonplace. Besides the fun involved, these social occasions help shift children't focus from themselves to others and from receiving to giving. In this book, Blue is faced with a related dilemma - what birthday gift should she give to her friend Magenta? As you read the story, discuss the ways in which Blue thinks about what to give Magenta. Does she rely on her own creativity, or does she realize the benefit of asking others for ideas and suggestions? As you encounter each gift in the story, ask your child why each gift is appropriate for Magenta. At the end, discuss why Blue's gift is a perfect present for Magenta. Learning fundamental: social skills"
