George And Tao

This delicately illustrated picture book holds a world of emotion in a perfect size for small hands, showing each moment of a new friendship between George the energetic puppy and Tao the kitten. George isn't sure about the new kitten that appears in their home. George sniffs Tao, they look at each other, they wag and wave their tails. Then they start to play. George and Tao are best friends! But George is too excited, and Tao gets hurt. Now Tao is gone. George looks everywhere, then waits--all morning, all afternoon, all night. Will Tao come home? This is a story for anyone who knows the thrill of finding a new friend. George's overenthusiastic friendship comes to a sudden stop, turns to worry, a long wait, and then finally an outburst of pure doggy joy when Tao comes home. By the illustrator of The Old Man. Praise for The Old Man "[A]n extraordinary book, one that can make the needed connection for young children to see human beings as more than their circumstances."--starred, Kirkus Reviews "The illustrations provide much of the emotional storytelling."--Let's Talk Picture Books
