Strawberries
In a few days it will be the birthday of Georgia Bean, the kindly rat, and none of the Junkyard animals know what to give her. Some suggest a cake, others suggest a craft project. But Ben, clever cat, with the help of those ever-entertaining raccoons, the Rowlands, comes up with the ideal gift. It just so happens they are growing in the neighboring farmer’s field, guarded by a not-so-friendly canine. How will they gather the perfect present?
