Hutchins, Pat

Rabbit confides to Owl that he is planning a party, but as the message is passed from animal to animal it gets more and more confused.

Titch feels left out because he is so much smaller than his brother and sister until he gets a little seed that grows bigger than anything they have.

Because all the other animals' noises keep him from sleeping, Owl watches for a chance to take his revenge.

The animals ask each other what game they should play, but only Owl has an answer.

Sam, another year older, is still too small to turn doorknobs, flick light switches, or operate faucets, but his grandfather's considerate birthday present helps him stand tall.

Because he can't find Daisy at the party, Titch hides in one place after another, until finally he discovers his friend hiding because she can't find him.

Titch helps his older brother and sister clean their rooms.

Hazel sets out to prove that she, not her baby brother, is the worst monster anywhere.

Sam's birthday brings a solution to several of his problems.

One hunter walks through the forest observed first by two elephants, then by three giraffes, etc.
