Editorial Reviews

Danny doesn't know what to give his mother for her birthday. The barnyard animals each make a suggestion, but they are all things Danny's mother already has; such as eggs from the chicken, feathers from goose, and milk from the cow. Finally, the cow advises Danny to ask Mr. Bear. Off Danny goes to the forest, and Mr. Bear comes up with the perfect gift suggestion! Wonderful illustrations and an unusual layout make this classic, first published in 1932, a super read-aloud.
