Cousin Yellowstone always has exciting stories to share and the Wombles can't wait for him to arrive. They quickly start tidying the Common, all except Orinoco who is thinking about something much more important - the very special birthday cake that Madame Cholet is baking! But when the party starts and the giant Blackberry Magnifique is revealed, Orinoco is nowhere to be found. Where could he be? This warm and funny story featuring Orinoco, one of the cheekiest and most-loved Wombles, is perfect for today's younger readers.
