The story

The sun is shining on Bramble Wood, and Pip jumps out of bed with a happy dance. Today is his birthday! But where have all his friends gone?

Hazel the squirrel has a secret plan, and Barnaby the badger is baking the biggest cake the wood has ever seen. Page by page, children colour the party getting ready, the bunting and the presents, and see how good it feels to be kind and to share.
