Little Bear finds a tiny box and decides it's a perfect present for Mouse. But all the other animals dismiss the small gift ("I've seen those before," says Owl), leaving Bear to doubt the specialness of his find. The story doesn't stand up to repeated readings, but the loose-handed drawings splashed with muted colors are worth a second look.
