Whether these aardvarks like each other or like-like each other, this picture book is a charming, funny tale of connection.

Aalfred and Aalbert are two aardvarks who live happy lives. But they often feel a sense of loneliness, and they cannot figure out how to resolve it.

Then a bird notices the isolation of the two aardvarks and resolves to enable the two to meet.

And, though all the plans of the bird fail, in a serendipitous way, the bird's plans also succeed.

A clever and humorous story of two creatures who lead radically different lives and yet who are able to become friends. It's a funny little story with quirky pratfalls and delightfully silly illustrations.
