Tilly and Friends Book series.
In Pretty Pru, Tumpty the elephant uses Pru the bird's makeup, with funny results, but he apologizes when he realizes Pru's upset. Everyone laughs at Tumpty's unsuccessful attempts to hide himself in Where's Tumpty?; they're distressed, however, when they think he's really gone. Dunbar playfully and perceptively explores the ups and downs of friendship in these two stories accompanied by spacious, uncluttered illustrations. Review covers these Tilly and Friends Book titles: Pretty Pru and Where's Tumpty?.

Tilly and Friends Book series.
Dunbar continues her spot-on tales of preschool life with two more books about Tilly and her housemates. In Bites, alligator Doodle wakes "feeling bitey" and creates havoc throughout the household. In Tiptoe, Tilly helps everyone prepare for bed, but it's rambunctious rabbit Tiptoe who tucks Tilly in. Dunbar varies the background color of her uncluttered illustrations to complement each story's mood. Review covers these Tilly and Friends Book titles: Doodle Bites and Good Night, Tiptoe.

Tilly and Friends Book series.
Hello introduces Tilly and her five animal friends, who play together until things get too rowdy. In Happy, pig Hector is enjoying a quiet moment with Tilly until the other animals pile on. Luckily Tilly knows how to put things right. In both books, with the help of delicately expressive, pastel-colored mixed-media illustrations, the mood comes full circle. Review covers these Tilly and Friends Book titles: Happy Hector and Hello, Tilly.
