Mouse Molly returns--this time, to fret about what to give Turtle for his birthday. When her animal friends independently create nearly identical gifts (drawings of a tree), Molly saves the day by merging them into a book about the seasons. Gorbachev's watercolor and gouache illustrations, accented with ink, ably showcase his anthropomorphized animal cast and their bucolic setting.
