Bear and Bird: the Adventure and Other Stories

Bird feels a flutter of jealousy when Bear is unduly entertained by the jocular Mole in Jarvis�s third set of stories about the endearing pair. Usually, a new wonky stick for Bird�s collection would be exciting, but . . . not today. �Hmm,� said Bear. �Well, in that case, I think it�s time for . . . The Dance.� Bear and Bird are the best of friends. They don�t always understand each other, but both agree that all they want is to make the other happy. So when Bird is under the weather, Bear arrives with a backpack of goodies and his best rendition of The Dance to try to make her feel better. And when Bear and Bird hang out with Mole�who tells hilarious jokes!�Bird eventually realizes that she doesn�t need to compete for Bear�s attention, since there�s plenty of laughter to go around. Whether it�s a comedy of errors around a Do Not Go in the Hole sign or the discovery that doing nothing together is the true badge of friendship, Jarvis tempers the mix-ups and misunderstandings with a genuine warmth and affection in this quartet of stories starring a most charming pair.
