So Close
K-Gr 2–Interestingly designed illustrations portray Mr. Duck and Mr. Rabbit, who pass one another going back and forth to work every day. The last page shows the fun things they could do together if only they'd say hello. The painterly illustrations with rough textures and brush marks are simple but expressive. A creative doodle drawing style is used in title lettering and endpapers. The short text and the large pictures make this a successful selection. Independent readers may be enticed by the illustrations and theme of friendship.Debbie Hoskins, Grand Rapids Public Library, MI© Copyright 2010.
