In a blue house nestled among the tall grass of her yard, Bunny enjoys reading books and drinking cocoa. On the other side of the fence, in his red house, Dog enjoys reading books and eating biscuits. The two neighbors lead happy but solitary lives. “No one says hello. Or hi. Or nice to see you today,” but Bunny is curious about Dog, and Dog wonders about Bunny. Every morning they observe one another through the fence. As they read in bed after dark, they peek out their windows to see whether the light in the window of the house next door is lit. One evening, as they both admire the night sky from their respective yards, they witness a shooting star. With this shared experience, the ice breaks and a connection is made. Bunny offers Dog a mug of cocoa, Dog fetches a basket of biscuits, and the two enjoy the beginning of what is to be a long and “exceptional” friendship. Cheerful watercolor illustrations that expertly balance white space with clever details accompany this quiet story that captures the joy of making a new friend. (Ages 3-7)
