3 Presents for Grace

Presents for Grace written by Pam Holden illustrated by Kelvin Hawley

Grace wanted a pet kitten for her birthday present. She was hoping and hoping to get a real kitten. "Happy birthday, Grace," said Grandpa. He gave her a square present with green paper. "Can you guess what it is?" he asked.

Grace opened the present and it was a picture of three kittens. "Thanks, Grandpa," said Grace. "I love these kittens. I'll put the picture in my bedroom." Grandma gave Grace a square present too. It had blue paper.

Grace looked inside and she saw a book about kittens. "Thanks, Grandma," said Grace. "I'll read all about these kittens." Tom gave Grace a small present with orange paper.

Tom's present was a toy mouse. "The key makes it go," he said. "Thanks, Tom," said Grace. "I'll make it go fast." "Happy birthday, Grace," said Hannah. She gave Grace a round present in pink paper.

Grace opened Hannah's present, and it was a beautiful ball. "I love this pretty ball," said Grace. Jack gave Grace a round present too. "Can you guess what's inside?" he asked.
