Vivid illustrations accompany the story of a small girl who cannot decide on a present for her mother's birthday
A young girl wants to give her mother the perfect birthday gift, but can't come up with one on her own, so she consults Mr. Rabbit. When she tells him that her mother likes red, yellow, green, and blue, Mr. Rabbit suggests all sorts of inappropriate presents: a red roof, a yellow taxi, green caterpillars, and blue stars. Will they ever find the perfect present? Watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations accompany the text.
