Abstract
I include this book because it helps complete a series containing fable books. The story and its illustrations are taken from Publications International's hardbound booklet of ten pages from 1997, "The Gift: A Tale of Generosity." Texts are shortened, and two illustrations are dropped in this sixteen-page pamphlet. I will repeat here what I wrote about that little book. Percy and Amelia are twins. Here they are pictured as bear cubs. Percy loves flying his kite, and Amelia loves bird-watching with her binoculars. As they approach their birthday, each knows what to give the other, but neither has the money. Amelia buys Percy a new tail for his kite, but she has to sell her binoculars to do it. Percy buys Amelia a case for her binoculars, but needs to sell his kite to do it. When they open gifts, they laugh, have a picnic, and declare that this has been the best of birthdays.
