The Otter's Little Surprise

Oliver the otter lives by a bright, babbling brook and shares a close friendship with Shelly the turtle, who suns on a flat rock each morning. When Oliver remembers that Shelly's birthday is only a week away, he sets out with his leaf satchel swinging to find a spectacular gift, hoping to make Shelly's sleepy eyes pop wide open. He searches the meadow, the old oak tree, and the riverbank, but every potential treasure slips away or turns out to be ordinary, and Oliver grows worried that he will find nothing special enough for his best friend.

Oliver asks his friends for ideas, but none of their suggestions feel right. Just when he feels sad and discouraged, he remembers that Shelly never asked for fancy things and loves quiet afternoons, warm sun, and stories. Inspired, Oliver plans a peaceful afternoon by the pond, with a cozy spot, a tiny cake made from nuts and honey, and his favorite stories to share.
