“Sometimes you need a little book that acts as a perfect exclamation mark—with a subversively funny twist.” Julia Marshall, Publisher

A satisfied lizard has found the perfect present for a hard-to-please friend in this happy comic gift book about gifts, ideal as a gift in its own right.A satisfied lizard has found the perfect present for a hard-to-please friend in this happy comic gift book about gifts, ideal as a gift in its own right. You're a very hard person to buy for, but have I got the perfect thing for you! In this little hardback gift comic, a lizard is delighted with its whole bag of genius presents for a slightly unusual friend. At first things don't go so well... The friend wolfs down each one and reaches out greedily for the lizard itself! Until the story finishes with a big kiss and a cup of peppermint tea: "Perfect presents!" says the friend. "Just to my taste!" This funny comic with a twist is a fun read for children of all ages and a perfect present for anyone-even those who are hard to buy for.

"With its moment of dark humor, this picture book may appeal to school-age children more than preschoolers. Fun for reading aloud."—Booklist


"This short comic, told in very spare language, conveys a sweet, simple message that children should easily comprehend and, hopefully, emulate: Kindness begets kindness. The lively, humorous illustrations . . . are endearingly expressive. . . . This cute story is like a present and a friendship—to be enjoyed and shared."—Kirkus Reviews
