The Best Birthday Present Ever! Reviews

  • Matt

    After being invited to the Big Bear Birthday Bonanza, Squirrel must come up with the best present ever. He chooses the perfect-sized stick and wraps it up ahead of the party. However, when it is time to open presents, all the flashy ones come out first, leaving Squirrel panicking. Big Bear opens it, stares at the stick, and loves it. From there, it is a tale about the wonders of great friends and the best birthday present ever! Eyeing the present we have wrapped for a party this afternoon, Neo wondered if his present would be ok. I assured him that any child who received it would love it... and if not, have a second slice of cake!

    Squirrel wants to get his friend Bear the perfect birthday present and finds just the thing. But at the birthday party, as Bear opens his presents, Squirrel starts to worry that his gift may be too little after all. What if it isn't what Bear wants? Did Squirrel get the right gift or will Bear be disappointed? This is a great story about giving a gift is a token of love and sometimes that can mean the simplest of things. Definitely recommend.
