Jarvis's witty humor is on display as Bear and Bird, unlikely best
friends, return in a second collection of tender, charmingly illustrated
stories.
"OK," said Bird. "I'll be on this rock. I promise I won't wander off.
I'll stay on the rock."
And she did. Even when it grew legs . . . and a little head.
Bear and Bird are the best of friends, but yesterday they had a falling
out. And although they can't quite remember why, each is sure that a new
best friend is now in order. If Bear sends an anonymous letter floating
down the river, will it be found by someone nice--someone with whom he
has as much in common as he did with Bird? In this quartet of tales, the
endearing duo is back to show that even friends who sometimes get their
wires crossed can always be each other's best supporter--whether making
plans to meet that go comically awry, baking hideously inedible surprise
cakes, or savoring a starlit moment together (and getting carried away
with wishes for just one more thing to make it perfect). With his
signature subtle wit, irresistible art, and an underlying affection,
Jarvis draws newly independent readers into a sweet friendship for the
ages.
