Steve tells us his fellow sea creatures are afraid of him, though he's a small, inoffensive-looking fish. Eventually, he introduces his best friend, George--a shark. Back matter explains that Steve is a pilot fish who keeps sharks free of parasites in exchange for protection, a mutualistic relationship. An engaging direct-address text, humorous speech-bubble asides, and cartoony double-page-spread illustrations add up to success.

Boo, a bunny, appears out of nowhere to disrupt the life of Henry, a dog. Boo's constant presence drives Henry nuts...until Boo saves Henry from a bear and wins over his affections. Boo's appearance and motivations are weakly explained, but the developing friendship is entertaining. Brewis's tidy watercolors effectively use empty space and thought bubbles in unexpected ways.
