How Many Sleeps 'til My Birthday?

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sébastien Braun. Excited Little Pip, thinking it's his birthday, wakes up Daddy Grizzle three consecutive mornings, only to be reminded each time of how many more sleeps he must wait. Illustrations show that while the small bear plays and sleeps, his father prepares a party and birthday surprises. The detail-filled illustrations outshine the predictable plot (which ends with a nod to How Many Sleeps 'til Christmas?).
