PS
On left-hand pages, a boy explores the woods; on right-hand pages, a bear cub does the same. After they meet, their narratives merge. Smartly conceived and rendered in simple, enthusiastic text and jammed-with-forest-delights illustrations, the book finishes neatly with a return to facing pages, pairing the boy's souvenir (a photo of the friends together) with the bear's (a painting on a rock of the same).
