Billy and Rose, friends with different ideas, always end up coming together in these charming stories from masterful creators Amy Hest and Kady MacDonald Denton. Best friends Billy and Rose, an industrious sheep and a laid-back pig, sometimes see things differently. When they play catch, Rose insists that Billy throws too high, and he counters that she throws too low. While Rose thinks washing clothes is the world' s biggest chore, Billy contends that playing the cello holds that distinction. Still, these endearing friends always find a way to work things out: What if Billy plays a cello serenade for Rose while she does her laundry? After all, what they really want is to be together. These four sweet stories by beloved children' s author Amy Hest are filled with gentle wit and enhanced by Kady MacDonald Denton' s delightfully expressive illustrations.
The stories quietly model ways of dealing with disagreement. . . Gentle words and calming illustrations subtly provide strong examples of conflict resolution. -Kirkus Reviews
