in both hardcover and board book formats but the shinier board pages serve to enhance the gorgeous artwork.The illustrations are linocuts and the blocky shapes of the animals and polar vistas are striking in their simplicity. Every baby should have this book in their personal library. Fox and Squirrel by Ruth Ohi (Toronto, NorthWinds Press) $14.99 A Canadian picture book title about a friendship between two very different animals. Fox and Squirrel have a conversation about their differences and conclude that their similarities are much more important.The illustrations add an element of humour to the text.When Fox agrees that he also likes nuts and berries he qualifies his statement by adding “sometimes.”The reader
then sees Fox leaping in the air to swipe at an escaping bird! The sprightly little figures scamper happily through a book that defines friendship in a very basic way. Ohi has been nominated for many awards for her books and deserves recognition for this one as well. Some other picture books about love and friendship are as follows: Amos and Boris by William Steig Frog and Toad are Friends by Arnold Lobel George and Martha by
James Marshall The Happy Lion by Louise Fatio Koala Lou by Mem Fox Moon Rabbit by Natalie Russell Polar Bear Morning by Lauren Thompson Scaredy Squirrel Finds a Friend by Melanie Watt Snuggle Puppy by Sandra Boynton Fran Ashdown was the head of the children’s dept. at the Capilano Branch of the NV Public Library. She is very fond of hugs especially ones from grandkids. For more information check your local libraries.
