The deadpan humour and simple but, oh-so-expressive illustrations with their bold, black outlines, mark this out as another John Agee classic. But I cannot help but wonder if there is a little in joke thrown in for us adults? Can you think of another George and Lennie (sic) with one being gigantically bigger than the other, just like our bear and rabbit friends here? Of Mice and Men anyone? Maybe just a coincidence? But it gave me an added smile!

This George and Lenny are best friends and always together, but Lenny begins to wonder what being alone would be like? George thinks it will be lonely and sad, but Lenny starts to think that it might be fun and he finds a perfect place since it only fits one. Lenny does have fun alone. He plays music, reads a book, builds with blocks and much more. But soon he realizes that he misses George. Don’t worry, George too has found a perfect place to be alone, right nearby so Lenny can join him. Why is it the best? ‘Because we’re together!’

The dialogue is consistently gentle, and the body language and expressions really convey the character’s thoughts. It is a good lesson to learn, that sometimes people need a little down time and allowing that can be the test of a true friendship. Entirely age appropriate and a good discussion starter.
