More stories about two endearing friends. The lovable vole and groundhog who first appeared in Rose and Riley return for three new stories about friendship and misunderstandings. First they head to the beach, where Riley is intent on finding a picture-perfect seashell, while Rose is
content with what the tide has to offer. Then the two embark on a hike to hunt for wildflowers, which makes Riley rather nervous. And finally Riley seems to have a yard full of noisy birds, but it’s Rose who figures out the singing is coming from
just one chatty mockingbird.
Cheerful watercolors enhance these tales for children ready to jump from picture books to beginning readers.

Kindergarten-Grade 3–A second book about two best pals, a vole and a groundhog. Illustrated with soft pastel watercolors, the three stories explore friendship and language with gentle humor. In the first tale, the animals are heading to the beach to search for shells, and Riley suggests they make sand-wiches. Next, when Rose goes on a photo safari to hunt for wildflowers, Riley is convinced that Wild Flowers are dangerous and bravely accompanies her, baseball bat at the ready. In the third chapter, Rose explains to Riley that the mocking bird in his backyard is not making fun of him but copying the songs of other birds; she agrees to swap houses because the noise is keeping him awake. Puns and wordplay are introduced to beginning readers through easily understood vocabulary. Rose and Riley maintain their friendship in spite of their misunderstandings. Like James Marshall's George and Martha books (Houghton), Cutler's characters are endearing.–Jane Barrer, Washington Square Village Creative Steps, New York City
