From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-- Everyone loves a party, and Hill's latest lift-the-flap book is sure to be a pleaser. Spot is invited to a costume party and dresses up as a cowboy. Once there, he goes in search of his friends, and children will enjoy prying open the flaps to discover these pals in various disguises. The bold, bright primary colors and clearly drawn figures make this a good book for a storyhour session. Order an extra copy and combine it with Catherine Stock's Birthday Present (Bradbury, 1991) and Cynthia Rylant's Birthday Presents (Orchard, 1987) for a birthday party theme. --Janet M.

Eric Hill was born on September 7, 1927 in London, England. During World War II, he was evacuated to the countryside along with thousands of other British children. Later, he worked in advertising before writing and illustrating a book about a puppy for his son. His first book, Where's Spot, was published in 1980 and became the first book in the show more Spot series. It incorporated the innovative lift-the-flap concept - something devised by Hill after he noticed a flap design on an advertising flyer. There are more than 30 books in the series including Spot's Birthday Party, Spot Goes to the Farm, Spot Goes to School, and Spot Loves His Friends. He also illustrated the Peek-A-Book series, the Baby Bear Storybook series, and a number of other children's books. He won several awards for the Spot books including a Notable Children's Book citation from the American Library Association and a Children's Book of the Year award from the Child Study Association of America. The popularity of his books led to an animated series, The Adventures of Spot, in 1983. In 2008, he received an OBE for services to children's literature. He died after a short illness on June 6, 2014 at the age of 86. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
