A Splendid Friend Indeed

This is a superbly simple book that shows how friendship can come in unlikely forms.  The bear doesn't like the goose to start with but the goose perseveres until he finds a way to make the bear like him.  The text is simple however the pictures tell the story with fantastic expression particularly in the bears face and actions.
This is a great book for sharing and also one that some of the 6 year olds in my class enjoyed reading themselves.
