Dog and Bear: Two Friends, Three Stories (My Readers Level 2) - Softcover

"Told with simplicity and charm, this story is appropriate for sharing aloud or for newly confident readers." --School Library Journal

"In three brief stories the reader quickly becomes attached to Dog and Bear, and feels their connection . . . . As in all successful friendship stories, the balance keeps shifting between the two, with Dog and Bear taking turns being the friend-in-need and the friend indeed; and each story comes to a small, satisfying finish." --Starred, Horn Book
