Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on May 07, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Michael Rosen! May your day be filled with more giggles than "Wouldn't You Like to Know" and fewer sad moments than your famously heartfelt "Sad Book." You've given us over a hundred reasons (and counting!) to smile, laugh, ponder—and occasionally shed a tear. Honestly, we're still trying to figure out how you manage poetry that makes kids chuckle while adults nod knowingly.

Here's wishing you another year of delightful rhymes and whimsical wisdom. May the coming chapters bring even greater adventures—perhaps another bestseller or two? After all these years, you're still proving that laughter truly is timeless.
