Résumé

Just you and me and the stars. I'm as happy as can be... Bear and Bird are best friends! And while they don't always understand each other, they both agree: all they want it to make the other happy. So, when Bear gobbles up the special, surprise cake Bird made for him, Bird laughs and laughs. And when Bird gets completely lost after sitting on a rock with legs, Bear comes to the rescue, on a walking rock of his own... Full of funny mix-ups and comic misunderstandings, as well as genuine warmth and affection, these four stories are the second instalment in an irresistibly charming new chapter book series from award-winning creator Jarvis.
