The Perfect Present

(3) K-3 Back from their success in Wanted: The Perfect Pet, pet duck Spot is threatened when his owner, Henry, seems to throw him over for a dog he receives as a birthday gift. What could be a typical story about displacement and reconciliation is keenly plotted and tenderly told, and the illustrations are full of wry thumbnail jokes and deft touches.
