Illustrated by
Mark Teague.
Poppleton builds a picket fence out of broken icicles with his new friend Patrick; sculpts a bust of his neighbor Cherry Sue; and invites his friends to join him for a sleigh ride, but they are too busy preparing goodies for his surprise birthday party. Fans will enjoy the warmth and charm of both Teague's expressive illustrations and Rylant's likable characters.
