The
Perfect Gift
by Mary Newell DePalma
Arthur A. Levine/Scholastic, 2010
Lori has the perfect gift:
a bright red strawberry
that Grandma will love!
But what happens when
hip! hop! plop!
the berry falls into the river
where
a crocodile lurks?
All of Lori's friends work together
to find a happy ending
that will last as long
as a lovingly made book.
