DePalma, Mary Newell The Perfect Gift. Arthur A. Levine (Scholastic), January 2010. $16.99. PICTURE BOOK. Little Lorikeet found a beautiful strawberry as a gift for her grandma, but lost it in a stream. With the help of a few new friends, she might be able to rescue it, but that is only the beginning of the story. I thought this was going to bea fairly standard book about the importance of working together, but it turned into a much cuter book than that. A clever teacher could use this as a jumping off point to a very appreciated holiday gift for a parent or grandparent – because sometimes we forget what those who love really want from us. EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library-Teacher.
