The rain drives her indoors where her friends await ready to party and dance to a friend's fiddle. Nobody can remember how old she is. Do they care how old she is? Does she care? They think not. It's the friendship and remembering to celebrate her birthday that counts. After the party it's off to dreamland for Floydie and a day she would remember - a day that happens once in a blue moon. Whimsical and hilarious illustrations accompany the humorous text.
