    Happy Birthday!! Patricia Polacco is one of my favorite authors. She writes from experiences in her own childhood. The story I enjoy reading at the end of the year is Some Birthday. The girl, Patricia, visits her father with her brother for her birthday. She is disappointed when everyone apparently has forgotten. Great connections can be made to Patricia Polacco's Picnic at Mudstock Meadow, which I read in October. After reading the book, I bring out a special treat for all the "NON BIRTHDAYS!" These are kids whom have birthdays during the summer (like me)!! We seem to be forgotten (I was growing up). I make cupcake mix and pour it into a ice cream cone. I bake the mix in the ice cream cone in the oven. I dress the top up with frosting and sprinkles. I love that the treat does not make a mess and won't melt!! Everyone is Happy.
