Why read it?
1 author picked Much Too Much Birthday (Maud the Koala) as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The title explains the way children often feel…much too much! We tend to overdo it when wanting to give our children too much of most things. Children become overwhelmed as Maud did.

I especially like the note to caregivers in the back.
From Linda's list on The best children’s picture books dealing with emotions and change.
