Little Grey Rabbit lives with Squirrel and Hare in a little house on the edge of a wood. It's going to be Grey Rabbit's birthday on Midsummer Day, and Squirrel and Hare are planning a wonderful surprise for her. They've invited all their woodland friends to a birthday party, and are making a birthday cake, all by themselves! But they are keeping it a secret from poor Grey Rabbit, who feels very left out. She'll just have to wait and see.

It is Fuzzypeg's birthday. His mother tells him that now he is older, he is allowed out on his own, but he must be careful. When Fuzzypeg does not return home, the animals know that he must be in trouble so they all work together to save him.

One evening, Hare rushes home with news of a party he's seen -- little Grey Rabbit and Squirrel hurry out to take a look at the wonderful sight, and return home determined to have their own party... But how do you throw a party? Armed with Wise Owl's 'how to give a party' book, the preparations begin. There are Forfeits, and Invitations, and Thimbles, and RSVP and Iced Cake to remember. Hare takes charge of Turn the Trencher, and little Grey Rabbit busies herself writing invitations. Then there is food to prepare -- what a mixing, stirring and tasting! Finally the guests arrive in their best clothes, and the fun begins. Even Wise Owl enjoys himself...though he doesn't quite play by the rules of Hunt the Thimble!
