'Henry has the Perfect Pet - a duck call Spot - who thinks he's found the Perfect Present for Henry's Birthday. But when the big day comes, Henry's grandparents arrive with a Perfect Present of their own - a strange and wobbling box - with something inside that could change things between Spot and Henry forever...

'This dearly loved duo returns in a heart-warming tale about never letting good friends go...' (From the publisher's website.)
