Rabbit is going to have a birthday party. 'I hope you'll come,' she says to Mr. Cuddles, her boon companion. She goes shopping with her mum for all the essentials - balloons, paper hats, and crisps and carrot cake, not forgetting to book the magician, The Amazing Ali Gator. All seems to be running smoothly - but when her friends arrive, Rabbit cannot find Mr. Cuddles anywhere, and it's not fun without him...
For a while it looks as though Mr. Cuddles will miss the party after all. But there is a real magician present, so things that have apparently disappeared can be conjured up! A well-observed story illustrated with all Mark Birchall's usual colourful and graphic panache.
