Rose and Riley
(Book)

Together, two good friends figure out how to prepare for the possibility of rain, how to celebrate un-birthdays, and what to do with worries. A welcome addition to the pantheon of early reader books, meet Rose and Riley, a vole and a groundhog, who are best friends. And like all best friends, they don't always see eye to eye. Whether it is best to carry an umbrella when rain is predicted but there isn't a cloud in the sky, or a good idea to celebrate un-birthdays (a birthday party every day!) or learn how to stop worrying, these two friends demonstrate, with their true affection for one another, the importance of discussion and why opposites attract. The very simple text, coupled with adorable watercolors, will charm those just starting to read.
