Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In their debut picture book, Emmy Award winning duo Mike Erskine-Kellie and Susan McLennan have created a laugh-out-loud story filled with heart. The metafiction approach (speaking directly to 'you') and fun story together with the antic exuberance of Cale Atkinson's bold and colourful illustrations make this a lively read-aloud that will keep even the youngest children engaged. Though a book about finding the perfect birthday present is itself the perfect birthday present, it's also simply a delightful read for any time of year. It also offers an excellent character education lesson on perseverance.
"In this hilarious and heartfelt story, our narrator is invited to a friend's birthday party and wants to get them a truly amazing present. Maybe a dinosaur? Or an apple juice-fuelled jet pack? Or how about a rocket ship to outer space! Unfortunately, our narrator can't quite pull together the perfect birthday present, and time is running out! Maybe the perfect gift doesn't need to be big and flashy after all."-- Provided by publisher.
