Bitty and Bub, Best Buds (Janee Trasler)

Friendship is sweet and awfully funny in five giggle-worthy short comics for emerging readers starring an adorable squirrel and bunny.

Bitty and Bub find cookies! Take one, the sign reads. But Bitty takes two! Bub s feelings are hurt until Bitty reveals that the second one is meant for Bub. All good! 

Bitty and Bub turn friendship s ups and downs into playful comedy in this sweet early reader comic by an award-winning artist. Split into short comics with spare text and charming art, each adventure (or misadventure) they go on has a funny happy ending.

The duo confuse a rock for a turtle, climb up a tree with no way to get down, and argue over whether something in the sky is a plane or bird only to get a definitive answer by way of a PLOP of bird poop. Emerging readers will love the silly punchlines and feel confident reading this simple, decodable text on their own.
