Bear and Bird: The Cave and Other Stories: Candlewick Sparks

Description: "Bear and Bird may not always understand each other, but they both want nothing more than for their best friend to be happy. So when they each find today's date circled in red, they obviously assume it's the other one's birthday (so sorry, Snail!). And when Bird puts her pal through his paces--to prove he's himself and not his look-alike cousin--she finds a sweet way to soothe an unhappy Bear when the test is done."--Provided by publisher.

Jarvis continues to give young readers the emotionally satisfying, highly readable tales characteristic of the series. . . . Jarvis's digital illustrations, with their soft edges and simple lines, perfectly match the gentle tone of the stories; even the entrance to the creepy cave is not too scary.
