Jellybeans

(4) K-3 Childlike black-and-white cartoons illustrate this odd but intriguing story about two friends, a cat and a rabbit, who meet for a picnic of jellybeans and hot chocolate, and fall into conversation about death and the nature of heaven. While the friends' random speculations aren't especially deep, their easygoing back-and-forth nicely diffuses the fear from the typically uncomfortable topic.
