Panda and Squirrel are the best of friends. They cannot be separated and do everything together: lie on the rocks to look at the moon, take walks, play games. One of their journeys takes only two steps, and another day they discover a newly hatched duckling. Sometimes they argue, but they always make up. This is a friendship for any day: roaring, quiet, grumbling, snoring... always.

This beautiful hardback storybook, with full-color illustrations throughout, features down-to-earth and warm-hearted friendship stories that reach straight from the soul of one six-year-old to another. Perfect for emerging readers or for reading aloud together, it's a book to read again and again.

Written by Ed Franck, one of Belgium's most important and innovative children's writers, and illustrated by Thé Tjong-Khing, a world-leading illustrator for children, whose many accolades include nomination for the Hans Christian Andersen Award. Translated from the Dutch edition by David Colmer.
