Seeger brings us an attractive picture book containing three charming and sweet stories about friendship between a boisterous dachshund and a pleasant stuffed bear. Each story describes how Dog and Bear overcome their differences through love and care. The book ends by leaving the reader knowing that these two friends have a genuine and warm relationship despite their differences. The artwork is attention-grabbing with the characters brightly displayed against a white background. The work is expressed in quick, clear lines and cheerful colors. Seeger perfects these enchanting stories with minimal text and presents winning illustrations for young children that adults will also enjoy.
