Pig and Mouse are hard at work baking the best birthday cake ever for Cow. They put all the ingredients in a big mixing bowl: flour, sugar, eggs- "And a TURNIP?" asks Duck. He also suggests they stir the cake with a turnip, bake it with a turnip, and decorate it with a turnip. How absurd! Despite Duck's interruptions, Pig and Mouse manage to get their beautiful cake ready just as Cow arrives: "Is that what I think it is?" she asks. Full-color illustrations.
