The plot, if this unusual book of images can be said to have one, implies a royal blue bird with a royal case of the blues, gradually reduced by the presence of mood strengthening cakes and a dog well intentioned and full of spirit, which diverts the moody Blue Bird with sweet snack:</P><br /><BLOCKQUOTE><STRONG>"THAT HIT THE SPOT!"

The hats are varied - a deerstalker was Sherlock, Scarlet fez, fur tall of a Beefeater and a hat high black spiffy - with great panache. Dog and birds are satisfied with their hats, but everything is forgotten when a mezzo-soprano (why not?) walks in with something tied up in a box - more cake!

Although an example of this kind of picture book, it lends itself to the sort of writing exercise teachers love in which students make up a story of a series of disparate words to its own needs.
