About A A Bug, A Bear, And A Boy
Product Description With simple sentences and beautiful watercolor illustrations, David McPhail weaves the tail of three fast friends who all read from the same book. From Booklist Smaller than his friend the bear but larger than his friend the bug, a little boy happily spends his day with his two companions. Together they eat, read, plant a garden, play hide-and-seek, take a nap, play with bath water, and go to sleep. Several of the short chapters bring up the characters' relative sizes. For instance, "The bear sleeps on a rug on the floor. The boy sleeps in a bed. The bug sleeps in a peanut shell." The mild episodic story is brought to life by McPhail's deft line drawings, brightened with watercolor washes. The endearing characters and occasional touches of humor make this an appealing book for beginning readers and for reading aloud to younger children. Carolyn Phelan About the Author David McPhail was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts. He attended Vesper George University from 1957 to 1958 and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School from 1963 to 1966. He has been an illustrator of children's books since 1967 and an author of children's books since 1971. He says he enjoys writing and illustrating as much as he did when he began.
