That's What Friends Are For

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Holly Meade. Theodore the elephant, who has hurt his leg and can't get across the forest to meet his cousin, asks his friends for advice--"that's what friends are for." After much well-meaning but ineffectual advice, the opossum sets everyone straight: "friends are to help." The cumulative text builds satisfyingly, and Meade's new illustrations, full-bleed double-page spreads in watercolor and cut-paper collage, are striking.
