And although they can't quite remember why, each is sure that a new best friend is now in order. If Bear sends an anonymous letter floating down the river, will it be found by someone nice--someone with whom he has as much in common as he did with Bird? In this quartet of tales, the endearing duo is back to show that even friends who sometimes get their wires crossed can always be each other's best supporter--whether making plans to meet that go comically awry, baking hideously inedible surprise cakes, or savoring a starlit moment together (and getting carried away with wishes for just \u003ci\u003eone\u003c\/i\u003e more thing to make it perfect). With his signature subtle wit, irresistible art, and an underlying affection, Jarvis draws newly independent readers into a sweet friendship for the ages.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJarvis \u003c\/b\u003eis the author-illustrator of the companion chapter book \u003ci\u003eBear and Bird: The Picnic and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e as well as the picture books \u003ci\u003eAlan's Big\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Scary Teeth\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eTropical Terry\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e Follow Me, Flo!\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe Boy with Flowers in His Hair\u003c\/i\u003e, among others.
