The adventure and other stories / Jarvis.

Jarvis, 1985- (author,, illustrator.).

Summary:

"Bear and Bird are the best of friends. They don't always understand each other, but both agree that all they want is to make the other happy. So when Bird is under the weather, Bear arrives with a backpack of goodies and his best rendition of The Dance to try to make her feel better. And when Bear and Bird hang out with Mole--who tells hilarious jokes!--Bird eventually realizes that she doesn't need to compete for Bear's attention, since there's plenty of laughter to go around. Whether it's a comedy of errors around a Do Not Go in the Hole sign or the discovery that doing nothing together is the true badge of friendship, Jarvis tempers the mix-ups and misunderstandings with a genuine warmth and affection in this quartet of stories starring a most charming pair."-- Provided by publisher.
