Bug and Bear by Ann Bonwill

Bear has to learn what it means to have and be a friend in the “Story of True Friendship” Bug and Bear by Ann Bonwill and illustrated by Layn Marlow (Marshall Cavendish Children, 2011). Bear is too tired to play with his annoying friend Bug, but when he is finally left alone, he misses his friend.

The illustrations (gouache, pencil, watercolor, and crayon) are friendly and natural looking, perfect for the forest environment Bug and Bear live in. The message is a sweet one we all should remember.
