Ask Mr. Bear by Marjorie Flack

'Ask Mr. Bear' by Marjorie Flack is a book about a boy looking for

a gift for his mother. In his quest he asks the animals on his farm, and they all pass him along to the next animal offering nothing that his mother doesn't already have. 

In the end, the boy decides to ask Mr. Bear who is a wise old animal and would know what the boy can get his mother.

It's kind of clear where this book is going so if getting an ugly tie is your idea of a good gift then this isn't the book for you. This is the kind of hippy story that is all about love and rejecting materialism. 

Who should read this book? Folks aren't hung up on belongings.
