Description

Billy and Rose are backand prone to serious discussionin four charming stories about the ups and downs of negotiating friendship.

The diligent sheep and the mellow pig who debuted in Billy and Rose: Forever Friends are backand they have strong opinions! Even best friends can disagree, whether the topic is books (tall blue books versus fat red ones), rain (will it or wont it), the perils of a bad hair day (should Rose concur that Billy is having one), or the incendiary question of which flavor of cupcake is best. Sharingbooks and a purple umbrella, compliments and cupcakes (two flavors)is the very antidote to seriousness in this second set of four witty stories to feature the endearing pair. Kady MacDonald Dentons warm and spirited illustrations complement Amy Hests gentle study of friends as they debate the important issues of the dayand reap the rewards of compromise.
