How to Wrap a Present in 17 Easy Steps (en Inglés) - Bambi Edlund

A convoluted, highly hilarious step-by-step guide to wrapping a present, new from the author of How to Make a Peanut Butter Sandwich in 17 Easy Steps

Today is Jay’s surprise birthday party, and their animal friends need to bring gifts. But who knew that wrapping a present could be so complicated?! Good thing Boar is leading a hands-on present-wrapping workshop.

Every creature must pitch in to get the paper made and gifts wrapped in time for the celebration. Opening with a list of needed materials, readers then follow the animals through 17 very important steps: from Beaver gnawing a log into chips, to Armadillo rolling the pulp into paper, to all of the critters trailing their smooshed-berry footprints across the paper to make a one-of-a-kind design.

Full of whimsy and laughs, this delightfully silly how-to guide is equal parts absurd and ingenious. In addition to being an adventure in teamwork and creativity, it’s also a highly engaging introduction to procedural writing.
