Henry, Rohan The Gift Box 32 pg. Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2012. PICTURE BOOK. $12.95. When Ollie's mother calls him a beautiful gift, he can't wait for his friend Benjamin to guess what he is. After giving all kinds of hints, Ollie gets mad that Benjamin can't guess what he is, but what Benjamin and Ollie finally realize is that friendship is a beautiful gift too. Although the main message of the book is on friendship, I thought the message of Ollie being a beautiful gift to his mother was an even sweeter one. Cute story with simple illustrations. EL-OPTIONAL. Whitney, Library-Teacher.
