Penny Dann.
Figgy Twosocks feels responsible for Jefferson Bear's favorite scratching stick being lost. She goes to great lengths to get it back because she's afraid if she tells him the truth, he won't be her friend anymore. Both the comforting message of forgiveness and the sweet, appealing illustrations will engage young readers, though the story itself is somewhat convoluted.
