Bookroo's summary

Mr. Putter believes he's too old for birthday festivities, opting for a simple tea with Mrs. Teaberry and Zeke. But as he waits, their delay hints at a surprise that could change his mind about celebrations. What could they be planning, and will it bring unexpected joy to his special day?

From the publisher

Mr. Putter is sure he is too old for birthday celebrations. And that means he’s also too old for model planes and balloons and candles and cake. So on his special day, he invites Mrs. Teaberry and Zeke over for a quiet cup of tea. But–good heavens!–what could possibly be taking them so long to arrive?
