The Next Door Bear by Mary Kuryla and Eugene Yelchin - OPTIONAL

Kuryla, Mary and Eugene Yelchin The Next Door Bear 40 pg. Harper Collins, 2011. PICTURE BOOK. $16.99. Ruby and Henry are best friends and do everything together. But when secrets get spilled, will their preschool relationship be able to pull through?
This had potential to be a really cute book, but it failed on all accounts. The writing was confusing and choppy. The dialogue of each character was separated by only a colon making it a hard book to read aloud. The illustrations were confusing as well because at some points the kids looked like giants and it was too busy. EL-OPTIONAL. Whitney, Library-Teacher.
