Paul's Christmas Birthday by Carol Carrick is about a boy named Paul whose birthday is the day before Christmas. Paul gets upset because all anybody wants to talk about is Christmas. His parents throw him a big birthday party where a man from outer space shows up. The man turns out to be Santa Claus who gives everyone at the party a present. Now Paul is happy because Santa Claus is coming to his house twice this year.

I like this book for anyone who has a birthday near a major holiday. The writer did a good job of explaining the feelings Paul was having and how parents do a good job of making things better for their children.

I would use this book to explain about how one person may think something is bad but you can find the good in everything if you try.
