Ages 4-8
Lori, a tiny bird, has found the most beautiful red strawberry to give her grandmother, but PLOP! it falls into the river. Not even the help of all of the bird's friends can get it back before a hungry crocodile snatches it up. The friends put their heads together and come up with the perfect idea of a new gift for Grandma: they'll create a book about their adventure with the strawberry! Grandma loves the story and so will you.
The illustrations show movement making this a great book for kids with persistent wiggly arms and legs.
The placement of the words on the page is perfect and the font is easy to read.
Most of all, the story is has a wonderful message. Friends help Lori and they work together to make a really great gift. Don't sit around and cry. Get creative and solve the problem.
Also another great book for summer reading. Make a Splash!
