This is a good, workmanlike collection of stories and poems loosely based round the theme suggested by the title. There are some well-known names among the authors - Ursula Moray Williams, Russell Hoban, for example - and some new ones. The items are all well chosen to give a rich variety of material for birthdays, new babies or Christmas to name but a few. Good material for young fluent readers or, of course, for an adult to read aloud.
