Description

The first picture book from beloved illustrator Jacqueline Schmidt of Screech Owl Design introduces the adorable stuffed bear Patchwork, whose adventures begin in this fun-to-read aloud tale of a bear and his friends. A sweetly illustrated tale of friendship about a patchwork bear and his threadbare pal that celebrates what friends can accomplish when they work together, Patchwork Helps A Friend is perfect for fans of Laura Vaccaro Seeger's Dog and Bear (Roaring Brook Press, 2007).

Reviews

"Schmidt's collage-like imagery makes this a great book to read to toddlers and preschoolers together--while the older one completes the rhyming sentences, the younger one can point to the random fruit, objects and animals that sneak up in each scene."
