Happy Birthday to Me!

(4) PS Illustrated by John Sandford. In a dreamlike sequence, a bunny wakes to an ordinary day, "until I found a key / which opened the gate that led through the garden / to the great pink house." A green-frock-coated cat leads him to surreal celebrations that end in a round of "Happy Birthday." Suspense built up by the poetic text and careful, large-scale illustrations filled with quirky details peters out at the end.
