PSTilly and Friends Book series.
In Pretty Pru, Tumpty the elephant uses Pru the bird's makeup, with funny results, but he apologizes when he realizes Pru's upset. Everyone laughs at Tumpty's unsuccessful attempts to hide himself in Where's Tumpty?; they're distressed, however, when they think he's really gone. Dunbar playfully and perceptively explores the ups and downs of friendship in these two stories accompanied by spacious, uncluttered illustrations. Review covers these Tilly and Friends Book titles: Pretty Pru and Where's Tumpty?.
