The results of Ivor the Engine's birthday celebration are felt long after the day itself and involve a baby lamb, an elephant and most of the inhabitants of Llaniog, in particular Jones, Ivor's driver and Dai Station, the stationmaster. A gently humorous story wit a quiet point to make about human behaviour. Peter Firmin's friendly style of illustration is well-known from Ivor's TV adventures.
