As is a present for Aunt Ruth's birthday, Rosie Raccoon is determined to offer four roses tied with a rainbow ribbon. As she and her big brother, Robert, ramble through the forest toward Aunt Ruth's house, Rosie's flowers mysteriously disappear, rose by rose. Is there a rose robber in the forest?

This review is from: Rosie's Roses (Hardcover)

Delightfully written by Pamela Duncan Edwards, Rosie's Roses is an enjoyable alliterative picture book, which especially celebrates the letter "R". Rosie Racoon and her big brother Robert set out to deliver four roses tied with a rainbow ribbon to Aunt Ruth for her birthday. Delightful color illustrations by Henry Cole enhance and support the charming narration marking this lighthearted and recommended picture book for young readers.

Kept checking it out at the library and finally decided to get it permanently when the price was right. I love the story too, which makes reading to her each night easier. She always asks for it...great book and great illustrations.
