A quest for the perfect birthday gift makes for laugh-out-loud fun. I wanted to get you the greatest present ever, our narrator says. But somehow, nothing quite worked out. First there were the hand-knitted birthday socks (have you ever tried knitting birthday socks?). Then, a ten-scoop ice cream cone (a disaster to carry), a magic kit (it disappeared, just like magic!), an apple juice-fueled jet pack (just a few kinks to work out). And still our narrator has nothing. Or, maybe there is something here to give after all ...Everyone knows it's the thought that counts, right? Especially when it's a gift that comes from the heart.
