(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lynn Smith-Ary. Frank wants to give Mrs. Kazinski "the best present in the world" for her eightieth birthday. His mother and the neighbors offer suggestions, but Frank comes up with his own idea: though he longs to keep it himself, he gives her a kitten to fend off loneliness. The illustrations for this heartwarming tale effectively establish the setting and endow the characters with distinct personalities.
