It’s a wordless dream about two children. I would bet that Wonder Bear, by Tao Nyeu, is going to be a big deal. Tao Nyeu is the creator of Wonder Bear, which won the Founders Award from the Society of Illustrators and a Marion Vannett Ridgway Award Honor and Bunny Days, which won the Ezra Jack Keats Award and a Golden Kite Award Honor.Tao was born in Ohio and grew up in New York. “Readers may find themselves turning the pages as if carried along by a gentle but unstoppable wave. In Wonder Bear, seeds sprout into a magic plant covered with orange flowers. A good choice for goofy, interactive read-alouds.”- Booklist (starred review) “This positive, upbeat, and comforting bundle is sure to bring smiles.
And as the fortune cookie in the last story says, true friends are friends for always. Yes, they argue sometimes (about things as silly as whether they should wear mittens or socks to keep their tentacles warm!), but they are always able to cheer each other up in glum times (such as when Squid wakes from the dream of being a superhero and feels disappointed to be plain old Squid again). The four tales in this charming picture book show funny moments in the life of best friends Squid and Octopus. For fans of Jon Klassen’s This is Not My Hat and Oliver Jeffers’ This Moose Belongs to Me. An award-winning author presents a delightful picture book about friendship under the sea.
