Finding The Birthday Cake

Based on the ancient Enneagram theory ("ennea" is Greek for nine; "gram" means drawing), this delightful book explores the nine styles of personalities and teaches children how to value differences, embrace diversity, and create a world of peace and acceptance. Walter, a most serious bird, has made a birthday cake for the most "perfect party" he is throwing for Ninosaur, his prehistoric pal. The only problem is: he seems to have lost it! With the celebration just hours away, Walter asks his many friends to help him, only to discover that everyone's methods are very different. Quick Timmy uses his optimism. Creative Franny longs to logically figure out the mystery. The adventurous 7 cows try anything, and Amy - strong, tough and determined - hopes to find it all on her own. Through their joint ministrations the cake is found in time and the party is a great success. Editorial Reviews From the Author While this book was meant for children, in the years it has been on the market I have heard it has been read to children as young as four years old and by adults of all ages. Enneagram teachers in several countries assign it to their students who are busy business men and women for a quick introduction to the Enneagram. I chose animals to describe the 9 types of people because they were fun to work with and because readers wouldn't identify them with real people they might know. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
