Ivy Loves To Give

Freya Blackwood
Picture Book
For ages 2 to 4
Scholastic, 2010   ISBN: 978-0545234672

Ivy loves to give things to people, but sometimes she doesn’t always give the right present to the right person. She gives a large shoe to a little snail, a pair of glasses to the dog, a cup of tea to a chicken, and the baby’s pacifier to a cat. Thankfully, none of her mistakes are permanent. A little switch here and a little switch there, and everyone ends up with the right gift. But what about Ivy, will she get a gift too?

This heart-warming picture book, with its luminous artwork and its minimal text, is sure to give young readers something to smile about.
