Bear and Bunny by Daniel Pinkwater & Illus by Will Hillenbrand


This is a book about two good friends. 


Aren't they adorable?


Bear in his snug, minimalistic cave.



Bear thinks bunny is a small bear and bunny thinks bear is a large bunny. 

Sometimes our illusions help our friendships along.


I love them being interested in each other.


Any book that features Monarch caterpillars and milkweed in a prominent way is pretty awesome!


Sleeping friends.


But their idyllic world is rocked by a question...

"Should we have a pet?"


"If we had a pet, it would be smaller, and not as clever as we are. It would need us to take care of it."
The bear thought for a while.
Then he asked, "Could a pinecone be a pet?"


The question of caterpillars comes up, but is found wanting.


So they sleep on it.


These two are the friendliest friends!


Then they find a kittie--up in a tree. That says, "CROAK!"

But Bunny is pretty sure it is a kitten.



"What do kitties eat?"

"Strawberries."

Their wisdom is astounding.


And just like that, they have a pet to take care of!
