The Best Gift of All

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Vanessa Cabban. Mole decides to visit his friend Rabbit. He digs a tunnel, picking up Squirrel and Hedgehog along the way. Upon arrival, Mole laments his lack of a gift for Rabbit until she reminds him that he brought her friends. Autumnal watercolor and pencil illustrations are full of cozy details, but the story's message is just this side of cloying.
