Is This Present for Me? - Hardcover

by José Carlos Román (Author), Silvia Álvarez (Illustrator)

It all began the day a mysterious package arrived at the post office...

Hedgehog, Skunk, Hummingbird, Owl... One by one, neighbors stop by the office to ask the postman if it's for them, but he always gives them the same answer:

"Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't.

Maybe it isn't, and maybe it is.

It could be yours,

But it isn't for you!"

Driven by curiosity, they're all itching to find out whose name is on the mysterious package they all want to receive.

Who would be the lucky recipient, and in which far-off corner of the forest was Mr. Fox going to deliver it?

An original story that will keep readers guessing right until the end.

Perfect for introducing young children to the fun of reading and discovering the value of gratitude.
