11 Adorable Kids’ Lit-Inspired Birthday Parties
by Janssen Bradshaw
What could be a more fun way to celebrate your child’s birthday than with their favorite book?
These kids’ lit-inspired birthday parties are so clever and creative. The hardest part of party planning may be choosing just one book!
For a first or second birthday party, this beloved childhood book is hard to beat for a theme. Plenty of food options to choose from, and that iconic caterpillar is just too cute.
2. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
This classic book is perfect for a party because you have so many color and animal options to pick from for your decor and food. How clever is it to use goldfish crackers and chocolate teddy bear cookies for the treats?
If you have a little wild thing on your hands, this is the ideal party, with lots of opportunities for roaring terrible roars. And the gold crowns are delightful and photogenic favors for your guests.

5. Little House on the Prairie
Who doesn’t want to be Laura Ingalls? From a little general store to dressing up in bonnets and aprons, this party is old-fashioned fun from start to finish.
Can’t choose just one book? How about all the Golden Books instead? Whether for a first birthday party or a baby shower, this theme is just so sweet.
Dress up in your fanciest duds and throw a party you won’t soon forget. When else will you get to pull out a giant hat or feather boa?
Calling all Wimpy Kids! This smash-hit series is the perfect inspiration for a party. And the “Pin the Booger” game is sure to draw a lot of laughs (and “ewwwww”s).
This childhood classic is full of great inspiration, from farm decor to animals to the state fair.
Who doesn’t love Dr. Seuss? And his most iconic creation, the Cat in the Hat, lends himself to a blue and red birthday bash that’s unforgettable.
I love the clever invitation made to look like a hotel “Do Not Disturb” door hanger. This ritzy party will be the talk of the town.
