The Most Wonderful Gift in the World
Narrated by a mouse pup whose mother’s special day is fast approaching, this heartwarming story is about trying to find the perfect present for the person you love. The young mouse considers a pine cone, a flower, a feather, and a bit of the moon captured on moss, but none of these options make it home in ideal condition. To staunch their tears, their mother reveals the truth: she already has all that she could possibly want. Sweet illustrations in soft pastels mix clear pen lines with watercolor-evocative touches, fleshing out the mice’s lovely natural settings well, including in the blue moonlight.
