Illustrated by
Rosalind Beardshaw.
While Fran is terribly busy making something for her "best friend," her dog, Fred, pesters her to take him out to play. Despairing, he gives up and slinks over to his bed. Fran finishes her surprise and presents it to the intended recipient, Fred. Bright illustrations joyfully complement the reassuring story.
