Barry's Best Buddy

32 pp. | Candlewick/TOON | March, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-935179-21-4 $12.95
(4) K-3 Toon Book series. Polarhog promises his grumpy best friend Barry a surprise. On a walk they stop for silly hats ("I do not like hats") and snacks ("I don't like ice cream"); it's all a distraction while ants decorate for Barry's birthday. While advertised for "brand-new readers," the quirky plot, dry humor, and subtly deadpan illustrations read older. Tips for reading comics with children are appended.
