Dog and Bear: Two Friends, Three Stories (My Readers)

Good condition

This is an adorable picture book that shows how a dog and a teddy bear live together as friends. First the dog has to help his friend bear down from a chair. After much talking and coaxing, the bear is finally able to get down from the chair. Then the dog wants to play. He will try anything, but the bear just wants to read. When the bear realizes that the dog just wants to be friends, he agrees to play. Next the dog wants to change his name, but bear does not think it is a good idea. As they tryout many different names, they both agree that his name should stay as it is. This book is truly three different stories, but as you are reading it just feels like you are in a day with these two friends. The interactions between the two are just like it would be if these were children of about four or five years old. The two friends seem to solve problems in a manner that young children would. The drawings are very simplistic using mostly bright colors to attract attention. There are pictures on every page to help you feel what is happening. It is a good book for teaching children how to be caring and patient with their peers.
