Amos and Boris

 
Amos & Boris   [AMOS & BORIS] [Hardcover] 
William Steig 1971

William Steig is so fantastic.  We love all of his books with their simple, honest drawings.  This one is about an unlikely friendship between a mouse and a whale.  Amos is saved from drowning by Boris and on their way back to land a comfortable friendship develops between them.  Later Amos is able to repay his friend by saving him when he is accidentally beached.

    Children's book illustrations are just so delightful! I would love to have that third image (second inside the book) framed on my boy's wall. I love exposing my children to beauty.
