Rosie's Roses

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. An alliterative text tells of Rosie Raccoon's trip to deliver four roses for her aunt's birthday. Along the way, Rosie loses one rose after another, but each time, she discovers the creature who found it needs the rose more than she does. Finally, all she has to offer is a rainbow-colored ribbon, but the syrupy ending reveals her aunt already has her "prize rose." The friendly illustrations include hidden Rs.
