Illustrated by
Ronald Himler.
In Friend, on the first day of school, Jim watches silently for a time, then joins in, and discovers a shared interest with a classmate. In Valentine, George cries in the cloakroom after receiving fewer cards than other children--but his friends rally to comfort him. Both books are newly illustrated with Himler's soft, gentle watercolor and pencil drawings. Review covers these titles: Bee My Valentine and Will I Have a Friend?
