Because four best friends (a lion, otter, golden retriever, and beaver) have the same birthday, they receive one gift from Wise Old Owl—a treasure map that will help them find the golden keys to the Treasure Tree. Every friend must employ their own abilities, and they learn to appreciate their own personalities and to respect the attributes of others as well. Full-color illustrations.

It seems hard to believe that an entire year has passed since the four best friend's last great adventure in "The Treasure Tree." Now it is time to enjoy another birthday. This year Owl's present will take the friends on two different trails where they will learn that love, courage, prayer, and caring acts can build a bridge across their differences and help them love each other like best friends, as God's friends should.
