Come Home Already! by Jory John

4.0

Friendship. Separation. Togetherness.

Story: Duck and Bear are neighbors. One morning Duck goes over to visit Bear and finds out he has gone fishing... and without him!

Language: The layout for this book is split between full page illustrations and panel style illustrations. There's a limited amount of text on each page and the characters invite humor and sympathy. The illustrations are simple yet full of expression and character. A different font is used for each characters dialogue making it easy to follow along.

Characters: Both characters are one dimensional, simple and fun for children's reading. Duck is best friends with Bear, is happiest when they are together and doesn't know what to do when Bear is not around. Bear is more independent and solitary but learns the value of Duck's friendship by the end of the book.

Very delightful and made me laugh and smile. Great for a storytime on friendship.
