This book touches on relationships -- friendship or familial-- and would make a cute gift.

Bear is sticking with Squirrel through it all. He's there to listen, and try all of his ideas. That is, until Squirrel decides that it's time to branch out alone. It doesn't take him long, though, to realize that he misses Bear! This is a cute story about two friends who realize that things are best when you stick together.

Wonderful story, about how some relationships can become a bit much, and sometimes we need space. But at the same time, we can still miss each other.
Kids really enjoyed it, especially the funny illustrations. Rhyming was on-point too.

No matter what, real friends stick together. Bear and squirrel might seem an odd partnership: one can fit in the palm of another but we trust to the fact that it just works. As our story continues though, we find that it is their differences that slowly grind this relationship down to breaking point. Bear doesn't seem to know his own strength or how much space he takes up and finally squirrel snaps. It is only when he wishes to be alone that he finds the time and space to realise that 'he' needs to produce a solution for this friendship to work because there really is no one quite like bear.
Prasadam-Halls' jovial, welcoming rhythm and rhyme bounces us through this picturebook whilst Smalls' debut work is miminal in colour and tone yet rich in expression and comedic timing. A perfect pairing. Readers will love this relationship and gradually begin to understand the depth of true friendship that lie beneath the words and pictures of this delightful tale. One to keep returning to in order to appreciate the depth and wealth of what is being said here about why some friendships endure.
