Kwik & Kwak Never Give Up

(4) K-3 A pessimistic frog reluctantly goes boating with an optimistic friend; multiple obstacles threaten to end their adventure, but each time the friend finds a solution. Told through spare dialogue, the story's message feels a bit heavy-handed, and it's unclear which frog is Kwik and which is Kwak. Still, the soft, full-bleed illustrations add humor and excitement to a comforting tale of friendship.
