This is a book for a birthday the child will not remember, which makes it, honestly, a book for everyone else in the room.
Their name runs through the pages and the story holds to the first year — what changed over it, and who the child is turning into by the end of it. That is a narrow brief and the book keeps to it rather than reaching ahead into years that have not happened. The people who were there are the ones who will recognise what is being described. Hardcover.
It gets handed over at the party and then read for years afterwards, which is when it starts working properly: a child old enough to follow the story, reading about a version of themselves they have no access to. Keep it out of the pile of toys and put it on the shelf the same day.
