This charming picture book says volumes about friendship with a few select words and accessible illustrations.
Bear wants to read and write and think. But his friend Goose wants to talk and talk... and talk! Bear and Goose are so different! But can they still be friends? Toddlers and preschoolers will learn about how to make --and keep -- new friends through this delightful story.
"Bloom gets maximum effect with minimum words. . . . Fun to read aloud, the book will also lead to discussion about friendly (and annoying) behavior." —Booklist
* "The gentle humor will elicit giggles; Goose's silly statements and Bear's patient responses beg to be read aloud. An ideal book for storytimes about friendship and sharing." —School Library Journal, starred review
* "A more perfect union between giggle-inducing but reassuring images and a text of very few words is hard to conjure." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
