Bear and Bird

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jennifer Thermes. Bird and Bear become friends and spend many summers together. One spring when Bird returns to the forest, Bear is no longer around. Bird connects with Bear's grandson and starts to forge a new relationship. It's like Mo Willems's City Dog, Country Frog but wordier. The circle of life and the passage of time are conveyed through the welcoming pastel-hued illustrations.
