Gaspard and Lisa: Friends Forever

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Georg Hallensleben. Here are two more picture books starring the animal-child friends. In Jungle, Lisa is jealous of Gaspard's summer vacation story, so she invents a story about her own trip to the jungle. In Friends, Gaspard tells how he and Lisa became friends. Both stories end abruptly, but the episodic text and bold, painterly illustrations have a quirky charm. [Review covers these titles: Gaspard and Lisa and Lisa in the Jungle.]
