    The newest installment of the series is another hit! Kids will love the adorable, color-drenched pages and adults will delight in the clever use of language as Butternut checks in with grocery store friends in search of a gift for Buttercup. I couldn't help but think about "love languages" in this story - sometimes a gift isn't bought but involves quality time instead. This is a story you'll want to read again and again with the little ones in your lives.

    This is a wonderful addition to a fun and cute series. I enjoyed Butternut awhile back and loved seeing this character again. Butternut has a best friend named Buttercup and it's her birthday, so he’s on a quest to get her an amazing present. He goes on a journey through the supermarket and receives the most interesting advice from fellow food items. The friendship and togetherness among everyone is sweet. The backmatter has discussion questions and a tea party recipe to keep readers joyfully busy afterwards.

    The sequel to the original Butternut book is just as cute, if not cuter. I love the interaction of the characters and the colorful illustrations. Jill has a wonderful way of making stories, kid friendly, even with food as the main characters! It’s so creative and engaging for young readers, who will want to read this over and over again.

    Jill Dana's Butternut is still in the supermarket, but this time he goes in search of a gift. This is a delightful sequel to the original Butternut book and it is easy to understand why they keep making more of them. The surprise finish will excite children over and over again. I won't spoil the ending, but it might involve crumpets. A great book to get children to think about sharing. Lots of jumping off points for discussions with any child.

    Butternut wants to get his friend Buttercup the perfect birthday present. He asks the other foods in the store for suggestions but worries that his gift won’t compare to all the other gifts Buttercup receives. With fun word play and puns, the story has a wonderful friendship theme. Back matter includes questions for discussion and a list of items for a tea party. Highly recommended!
