Product Details

Praise

The stories quietly model ways of dealing with disagreement. . . Gentle words and calming illustrations subtly provide strong examples of conflict resolution.
—Kirkus Reviews

Across four likable Frog and Toad–style stories, Hest celebrates the camaraderie of barnyard pals Billy and Rose. . . Genuine-sounding rapport articulates the kindness at the heart of any partnership, while MacDonald Denton’s pale watercolor and ink illustrations add a layer of liveliness via expressively wrought figures; together, the duo embodies the way a best bud can both challenge and inspire.
—Publishers Weekly

Billy, a goat, and Rose, a pig, are friends who live on neighboring farms. In four short stories, the two work their way through small conflicts in satisfying ways. . . . The cozy words and pictures have an old-fashioned sensibility. . . Denton’s lively watercolor and ink illustrations are filled with movement, and the characters’ exuberance bursts off the page. . . this short chapter book has a friendly, approachable design for new readers.
—The Horn Book
