The present

A little dinosaur discovers a pretty present lying in his path. “Oh, what a lovely present! Who’s it for? It’s for me!” But rather than rushing to find out what’s inside, he seems much more interested in the wrapping.
It’s true that a present is great: the wrapping paper can be a cape or a kite, the ribbon a snake to tame, and the cardboard?! A cardboard box is just too cool! But if you’ve ever been a child, you’ll know that.
With soft, colorful illustrations, Marjorie Béal tenderly plays on children’s creativity. When their little missteps surprise us with their inventiveness, they make us laugh out loud.
A well-wrapped book to give as a gift!
