Three of the best things in life are rolled into the short chapters of this delightful addition to the Poppleton series. First, our friend Poppleton is going to have to figure out what to do with icicles that have fallen; then he will venture into the world of sculpture and for the grand finale we have Poppleton's surprise birthday party complete with making the all-important wish when blowing out the candles. There is enough humor and silliness to keep the most finicky reader entertained.
