Bear and Bird: The Cave and Other Stories

Author/Illustrator: Jarvis

This book of 4 short stories is book 6 in the Bear and Bird series by Jarvis. Bear and Bird are best friends. They sometimes misunderstand one another, but they ultimately want to make each other smile.  Their humorous endearing mix-ups are reminiscent of another unlikely pair of friends, Mo Willem’s Piggie and Gerald. This book is for ages 5-9 and is a great bridge book between picture books and chapter books. The illustrations are charming in their simplicity and whimsy.

5 stars
