review 1: There wasn't much of a story to this, but what I liked were the illustrations. A boy and his cute dog climb a snowy hill, and when they get to the top have a snack and read a book. The dark outlines of the objects contrast with the whiteness of the snow, and make them stand out. I could feel the chill of those snowflakes and the warmth of whatever the boy had in his thermos. Reading a book up there seems like just the right thing to do--except the librarian in me hoped the snowflakes wouldn't get the book all wet. I recommend this book for a quiet winter afternoon--indoors, where the book will stay dry.
review 2: I am giving this book five stars because it may have helped me find a book from my childhood that I have been searching for! This story reference... mores a book called "Two Good Friends" I decided to look up that title to see if it was meant to be any specific book. I ended up finding one that I never thought I would....with a bear, a duck, and some cleaning called "Two Good Friends". It is on its way through ohiolink now so I can make sure. Up until now I have been unsuccessful in my search because I couldnt remember a title or author! I read it over and over when I was a kid. less
