In the same three story style as Dog and Bear, Harper tells short stories about two friends. Like Dog and Bear, there is the clever, caring friend (Bear and Lulu) and the care-free, more ego-centric friend (Dog and Mimi).
While Harper’s story telling (easily recognized themes with short and sweet execution) is excellent, just as Seeger’s is excellent, there is something about Harper’s illustrations that turn me off. What animals are they, anyway?
I can’t wait to see how the kids react. I used to think David Shannon’s illustrations were odd but his books are now among my favorites after seeing the kids enjoy them.
