Everyone who lives around Duckling's pool is in a tizzy: Beaver hasn't put on his hat, and now the sun's burning his head; Squirrel has lost her nuts, and now she's hungry; and Bear has knocked over his jar of water, and now he's thirsty. So it's just as well that Duckling's around, ready to help out the rest of the animals with his gifts! It's a Gift! is a tender tale about the solidarity and generosity that's so necessary in modern life. This moving story will encourage the youngest members of the family to share without expecting anything in return. Lexile Level 470L Guided Reading Level K
