Illustrated by
Stephen Michael King.
Bear Bruno's birthday party is on Thursday. That night, he and his bird friend Bert wonder where this special day goes when Friday dawns. Charming ink and watercolor illustrations depict the duo on their nighttime quest for the answer ("Is that you, Thursday?" Bruno asks a gurgling river). Some listeners may find the story too abstract, but Bruno and Bert's musing will resonate with others.
