A
bear and a goose are so different. Bear is quiet and firm. Goose is loud and
pushy. How could they possibly be friends? But that’s exactly what happens in
this bestselling tale of a bear who wants to read in peace and a goose that
needs a friend. Author-illustrator Suzanne Bloom captures the concept of making

reminder of why friendship and kindness matter.
From Cheryl's list on children’s books about kindness and friendship.
