Review
Bo is lonesome, so he goes off in search of a friend. After searching awhile, he finds something he thinks will be a friend. It does not move much, and does not make any sounds, so he carries it around entertaining it. One night it cracks open, and out comes a duckling who does make a good friend for Bo. The illustrations in this book are sweet and cozy, and provide glimpses of other animal friendships. White space is use effectively. Short, easy sentences make this a good choice for preschool children. A sweet story to add to your collection.
