Morning, noon, and night, Budgie and Boo work in their gardens, have adventures, and solve problems for each other—from fixing a leaky roof to fixing breakfast—because that’s what best friends are for. Together they learn that even if they lose their way, friendship is all they need to get through the day.
作者简介 David McPhail has illustrated more than one hundred books for children, including the New York Times bestseller When Sheep Sleep. His other titles include Water Boy, I Love You Because You’re You, and If You Were My Bunny. He lives in Rye, New Hampshire.
媒体推荐 "'Parents and children will enjoy the beautiful illustrations and themes behind this enchanting story, which is destined to be a modern classic.' (Children's Literature) 'McPhail's charming watercolour-and-ink illustrations are infused with warmth and are a lovely complement to the gentle, rhyming lullaby... This cosy tale is sure to become a bedtime favourite.' (School Library Journal)"
专业书评 From Booklist

Budgie is a bear who grows beautiful flowers. Boo is a bunny who grows tasty vegetables. In four simple chapters, the two become best friends, work hard in their gardens, fix a leak in the ceiling of their house, and lose their way on a night walk, bringing the tale full circle. Dramatic two-page spreads announcing “Morning,” “Afternoon,” and so on, give the story an appealing framework. Both format and story are reminiscent of Frog and Toad (1970), though it’s not an easy reader. McPhail’s familiar pen-and-ink watercolors imbue each animal with character and personality, and the friendship theme is delivered carrot-crisp and posy-pretty. Preschoolers will be drawn to the cheery cover and giggle over the names—and that’s before they even open the book. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Julie Cummins

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1—Divided into three chapters, this book features the homey adventures of two gardeners who are the best of chums: Boo, a bunny who clutivates the tastiest vegetables, and Budgie, a bear who grows the most beautiful flowers. When Boo wakes to a wet nose, his buddy discovers a roof leak and pushes his pal's bed out from beneath the drip. In the afternoon, Boo climbs a ladder and fixes a loose shingle in spite of Budgie's well-intentioned (but unhelpful) offer of garden tools to assist with the repair. And in the evening, on a walk that becomes dark and scary for both of them when a cloud covers the moon, Boo reassures his friend that they can return to their home and safety. The simple text features short sentences and some lovely turns of phrase that beg to be read aloud. McPhail's luminous watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations echo the quietude of the comfy relationship as the pair fix breakfast, gaze at the rain, and share a laugh. The delight of spending time with the two friends who watch out and care for one another will make this amiable book a lapsit favorite.—Marge Loch-Wouters, La Crosse Public Library, WI
