What is Happy birthday, Bear about?

It is Bear’s birthday, and he cannot wait to open his presents. But when he unwraps sticks, mud and stones from his friends, he feels disappointed and cross. Then Bear discovers that these unusual gifts can make wonderful sounds and inspire exciting outdoor games. Realising he has been ungrateful, Bear wants to say sorry. With a thoughtful surprise of his own, Bear learns that birthdays are about friendship, imagination and sharing fun together.
