Cat Georgie decides to throw a party for his animal friends, but all give (hilariously) flimsy reasons why they can't attend ("My shorts are too bright," etc.); it turns out they're secretly planning to throw him a party. The book is even more delightful the second time through: readers will spot the friends' party planning and Georgie's cake slowly disappearing in the meticulous illustrations.
