Perfect Presents!

A happy comic gift book for all ages—especially those who are hard to buy for!

In this little hardback book about gifts and giving, a satisfied lizard has found the perfect presents for a hard-to-please friend.

With 32 pages of comic strip style fun and hilarious illustrations by award-winning Anke Kuhl, this joyful book makes a perfect stocking filler, Secret Santa gift or for giving all-year round at children's birthdays, anniversaries or any celebration.

A lizard is delighted with their whole bag of perfect presents for a slightly unusual friend, owl. At first things don’t seem to be going well…The owl wolfs down each one and reaches out greedily for the lizard itself! With comic tension and a funny twist, the reader thinks the lizard may get eaten, but all turns out well in the end. The story finishes with a big kiss and a cup of peppermint tea: “Perfect presents,” says the owl. “Just my taste!”

Capturing both the apprehension and delight of gift giving, Perfect Presents! is the ideal solution when shopping for the person who has everything.

Translated from the German edition by Melody Shaw.

"This cute story is like a present and a friendship—to be enjoyed and shared."

"Readers will love the message that appearances cannot predict a person's true character, and that you don't have to be alike to be friends."

"Small and perfectly formed."

"Hugely satisfying: I hope it’s to your taste; it certainly is to mine."

"a quirky, unique, and very funny tale of friendship."
