When they find Rabbit baking a cake one March day, Pooh and Piglet decide for him that it should be a birthday cake and set out to throw a birthday party. It's sort of a surprise party in that they don't know who the party is for and are surprised when they find out there is a birthday to be celebrated. It might have been fun if over half the book wasn't wasted with them just handing out party invitations to their friends one by one.

On a side note, for years I thought I had all the books in the "Read with Pooh . . . All Year Through!" series -- three board books for every month of the year -- but I just found out their are four extra book-end volumes we weren't sent during our mail-order subscription. I was able to find this 40th book that ends the series, but I'm still looking for the three that begin it: The Months of the Year by Catherine Lukas, The Days of the Week by Catherine Samuel, and The Four Seasons by Sarah Albee. A collector's work is never done!

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:
