    Series Statement: Fox & Rabbit
    Content: " A new graphic-novel series for emerging readers about the simple magic of true friendship Easygoing Fox and anxious Rabbit seem like total opposites. But, somehow, they make the perfect pair! Whether searching for hidden treasure or planting a garden in their own backyard, Fox and Rabbit find everyday magic at every turn. On this first adventure, the pair will discover some new favorite things like sunsets, dandelions, and cotton candy. And they'll face new fears like heights, swimming, and (poisonous!) frogs. Thankfully, there's nothing Fox and Rabbit can't do together! "
    Content: Biographisches: " Beth Ferry is the author of many books for young readers, including Caveboy Crush and the New York Times bestselling Stick and Stone. She lives in New Jersey with her family. Gergely Dudás is a self-taught illustrator best known for his seek and find–" Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: January 1, 2020 Five laugh-out-loud stories celebrate an unlikely animal friendship. Carefree Fox and worry-prone Rabbit show that opposites not only attract, but make for great comedy. In their first story together, the pair goes to the fair--which Fox loves because it starts with F, just like Fox. While Rabbit gets a little miffed that all of the un-fair games are broken, Fox keeps winning and winning. In a later story, the pair plant a garden using seeds they found on an adventure. The next day, their greens turn up gobbled (i.e., the vegetables were a little hard for Rabbit to resist). No matter the boon that graces them or mishap that befalls them, their friendship prevails. Picture-book author Ferry's first foray into comics is an infectiously chipper series opener. Though the panels never exceed nine per page, some complex layouts require familiarity with the medium. Dialogue appears both inside and outside of speech bubbles, mostly in short sentences voiced by separate speakers. Hungarian illustrator Dudás' full-color graphite and ink illustrations add a pitch-perfect warm and joyful spirit. A few full-page panels capture some truly magical and heartfelt moments, but humor is the tone du jour in these banter-filled stories. The punchline--a late-arriving turtle always asks the pair (or is it trio?) What'd I miss?--is the icing on the cake. Excellent fun from panel to panel. (Graphic early reader. 6-9) COPYRIGHT(2020) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.slj.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/schoollibraryjournal_logo.png alt=School Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: April 1, 2020Gr 2-4- This collection of five stories centers on supportive pals Fox and Rabbit. Whether Rabbit is helping Fox work up the courage to ride the Ferris wheel or Fox is assuring a worried Rabbit that swimming is fun, the two friends conquer fears together. Although these tales can stand alone, kids will have more fun reading them as a whole, since each chapter ends with the friends discovering an item such as a beach ball or a treasure map that propels them toward their next adventure. Their comical and high-spirited banter, full of alliteration and rhymes, complements Dud�s's colorful yet subtle cartoons. Using only the characters' eyes and eyebrows to express emotions, the art is simple at first glance but will reward close reading. This book requires a significant amount of comic literacy, including the ability to sequence events across upwards of nine panels per page, decipher multipanel wordless action scenes, and navigate series of back-and-forth word bubbles in a single panel. VERDICT Though sophisticated, this whimsical tale of friendship is sure to be a hit with young comics readers. A welcome addition to any graphic novel collection for young readers.- Amanda Melilli, University of Nevada, Las VegasCopyright 2020 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. " Rezension(4): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: April 20, 2020 The dynamic first in a graphic novel series ideal for early readers transitioning to chapter books, Ferry’s five interconnected stories feature the daily adventures of two affable anthropomorphized animal friends, Fox and Rabbit. In the first story, persistence and support win Rabbit a prize at the fair that ushers the friends toward their next adventure: the shore. There, Rabbit most overcome a big fear (“everything in the ocean scares me”) before the characters visit an island and collaborate on a garden and a lemonade stand. In moments of anxiety and irritation—recognizable situations that are relatable to the intended audience—Fox and Rabbit sometimes respond with annoyance (“I didn’t really see a crab. Stop copying me,” Fox, cross, says as the two point out creatures in the clouds). Still, their relationship models reciprocal patience and respect, and moments of tension serve to highlight the duo’s honest, constant companionability: Asked how Fox knew that Rabbit would like the ocean, Fox responds with an affectionate “Because I know you.” Dudas’s expressive, brightly colored illustrations are a seamless fit for this perceptive, character-driven volume about the power of true friendship. Final art not seen by PW . Ages 6–9. "

    Content: " When Stick rescues Stone from a prickly situation with a Pinecone, the pair becomes fast friends. But when Stick gets stuck, can Stone return the favor? Author Beth Ferry makes a memorable debut with a warm, rhyming text that includes a subtle anti-bullying message even the youngest reader will understand. New York Times bestselling illustrator Tom Lichtenheld imbues Stick and Stone with energy, emotion, and personality to spare. In this funny story about kindness and friendship, Stick and Stone join George and Martha, Frog and Toad, and Elephant and Piggie, as some of the best friend duos in children's literature. "

Stick and Stone are alone and then they come together. They go to the beach, and then a storm comes. And then Stone searches for Stick. He found Stick in a puddle. I like this book because the illustrator has great pictures. I also like the story. The author wants you to learn to be always friends." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: February 2, 2015 Newcomer Ferry’s simple rhymes and Lichtenheld’s ( Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site ) pared-down art make fine partners in this testament to friendship. At the outset, reedy Stick stands moodily by the sea, while round Stone gazes at the moon (“Stick. Stone./ Lonely. Alone”). They meet at the playground, where a pinecone makes fun of Stone. Stick defends Stone (“ ‘Vanish!’ says Stick./ His word does the trick”), and a friendship is born. Ferry adds zip to the best-friends-forever theme with plenty of sly puns (“Stone whispers, ‘Gee,/ you stuck up for me!’ ”), and Lichtenheld conveys significant expressiveness through the characters’ dot eyes and small smiles. More subtly, he darkens objects when the story takes a discouraging turn and pours on the sunlight when things cheer up. Friends can help each other by capitalizing on their differences, he suggests, as when Stone rolls a path through tall grass for Stick as they travel. The use of instantly recognizable objects as characters gives the story universal appeal, and Ferry makes its moral unmissable. Ages 4–8. Author’s agent: Elena Giovinazzo, Pippin Properties.

Stick and Stone feel very alone. Isolated on separate pages, their solitary figures appear downcast, until a chance encounter leads Stick to stand up for Stone against a bullying pine cone. Now inseparable, the two explore and play. But when a storm carries Stick away, Stone must search for him and bring him back. Simple, rhyming text and visual puns keep this familiar-feeling tale light and snappy. Lichtenheld's illustrations, done in dry media on paper, possess their usual appeal. The paper's rough surface gives the natural objects a warm, organic feel that contrasts nicely with the bold, graphic drawing style. As always, details charm, from the trail of flattened grass Stone leaves behind him as the two explore to the miner's headlamp he wears during his search for Stick. With few words per page and visually expressive characters, there is much to keep young readers' interest. A light, enjoyable approach to a recognizable narrative about making-and helping-friends.

Round stone labels himself a zero and tall, skinny Stick is only a one, as they are solitary figures until they come together to form a perfect 10. Stick sticks up for Stone when bully Pinecone makes fun of the rock, and the two become close companions. Told in rhyming couplets, this warm and tender story of two BFFs is made even more enjoyable by the charming, textured tan and blue illustrations, highlighted with touches of green and red. The pictures range in size from double spreads to small vignettes and deftly convey the two companions' harmonious relationship. Endpapers reveal Stick's and Stone's origins, and the text, suitable for beginning readers, sweetly expresses what it is to be and to have a good friend.- Maryann H.

    Content: " ★An exceptionally satisfying picture book. Booklist , STARRED review ★This readaloud is sweetly told as Swashby overcomes his bitter habits to welcome new, friendly, and energetic people into his quiet life. The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books , STARRED review From New York Times best-selling author Beth Ferry and Caldecott Honor winner Juana Martinez-Neal comes a sweet-and-salty friendship story perfect for pirate-lovers learning new ways to communicate while at a distance. This hilarious picture book will keep emerging readers laughing, and the message-related mishaps in the story create an opportunity for spelling and sounding out new words while learning from home! Captain Swashby loves the sea, his oldest friend. And he loves his life by the sea just as it is: salty and sandy and serene. One day, much to Swashby's chagrin, a young girl and her granny commandeer the empty house next door. All Swashby wants is for his new neighbors to GO AWAY and take their ruckus with them. When Swashby begins to leave notes in the sand for his noisy neighbors, however, the beach interferes with the messages that are getting across. Could it be that the captain's oldest friend, the sea, knows what Swashby needs even better than he knows himself?"
    Content: Biographisches: " Beth Ferry loves to wander, explore and mainly laze on the shore, but only in the summer. She is the author of several picture books, including Stick and Stone . She lives with her husband and three children by the beach in New Jersey.

Swashby's peaceful seaside home is disturbed when a gregarious little girl and her granny move into the once-empty house next door. The only neighbor Capt. Swashby has ever wanted was his old friend the sea, so when new neighbors began to take over the beach--and even Swashby's deck--without permission, he leaves a message in the sand for the interlopers that reads, NO TRESPASSING. The sea fiddle[s] with Swashby's message and washes away most of the letters, leaving the word SING, which the little girl does while dancing up and down [along] Swashby's deck. It changes two other unwelcoming messages to invitations for the girl and her granny to W_ISH upon a starfish and PL_AY in the sand. Then, after building a sand castle (following Capt. Swashby's grouchily delivered advice), the girl is washed out to sea--to be rescued by the old salt, beginning a wholehearted friendship. The feeling of place is solidified by Martinez-Neal's use of color, which breathes the life into this story,the muted beige, blue, and turquoise palette is perfect for a beach tale. The cantankerous old coot is depicted as a white man with an enormous gray beard while the girl and her granny are depicted with brown skin, exuberant Afros, and enormous spectacles. This sweet story of friendship is sure to win over even the grumpiest of listeners. (Picture book. 4-7) COPYRIGHT(2020) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: April 13, 2020 Swashby, a bushy-bearded, red-nosed old salt, is ready to spend a reclusive retirement (“Salty/ and sandy/ and serene”) by his longtime friend, the sea. “She knew him in and out,/ up and down,/ and better than anyone,” writes Ferry ( Ten Rules of the Birthday Wish ). When a girl and her grandmother move in next door (“nosy,/ a nuisance,/ annoying”), he starts leaving stern warning messages in the sand. “NO TRESPASSING,” reads the first, “which the sea fiddled with, just a little bit,” turning it into “SING,” which the girl does with gusto. When the sea turns “PLEASE GO AWAY” into “PL—AY,” the child almost coaxes Swashby into being her playmate. But it takes the sea turning dangerous to fully open Swashby’s heart,he rescues the girl and embraces neighborliness, realizing that it can mean “fun,/ and friends,/ and... family.” Caldecott Honoree Martinez-Neal’s acrylic, colored pencil, and graphite drawings teeter between scenes curmudgeonly and sweet, underscoring the story’s tensions. A strong sense of place emerges from the palette, redolent of sunlit sand and sea glass, and the interplay between Swashby and his meddling sea has its magic. Ages 4–7. Author’s agent: Elena Giovinazzo, Pippin Properties. Illustrator’s agent: Stefanie Sanchez Von Borstel, Full Circle Literary. " Rezension(4): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from March 1, 2020 Preschool-G *Starred Review* Captain Swashby retires to a little seaside house, enjoying the serenity until a lively little girl and her amiable granny move in next door. Suddenly grumpy, Swashby hides when they ring the doorbell and feeds their gift of cookies to the gulls. He even writes a message in the wet sand: NO TRESPASSING. But the sea fiddles with it, erasing a few letters. The girl reads only SING, and so she does. After he writes PLEASE GO AWAY, the sea fiddles again, leaving PL-AY for the girl to read, and so she does. But when the sea carries the child away from the shore, Swashby dives in, brings her back, and, upon reflection, forges a friendship with his new neighbors. The illustrator of the Caldecott Honor-winning Alma and How She Got Her Name (2018), Martinez-Neal uses acrylics, colored pencils, and graphite to create pictures that capture the feel of the seaside, as well as the protagonist's shifting emotions. Telling a story with imagination and wit, Ferry creates a cantankerous but lovable character in Captain Swashby and a mysterious, well-intentioned, mischievous one in the sea, which transforms the captain's final message, THANK YE, FRIEND, into THE END. It's a fitting conclusion to an exceptionally satisfying picture book.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.) "
