OverviewPuppy is small and loves to play. Bear is big and feels grumpy. But the two unlikely friends soon become inseparable. All summer long they play hide-and-seek under the oak trees, fly down the lane on Bear’s bike, and pretend to be pirates. Everything is perfect, until the weather cools down and the leaves start to change. Bear is suddenly too busy to play with Puppy. Now that Bear has started school, is he going to leave Puppy behind…forever? Award-winning author Larry Dane Brimner’s gentle text and John Bendall-Brunello’s warm illustrations combine in this memorable story of friendship.
