Warm and Fuzzy

PreS-Gr 2–An adventure is so much fun—except what if something unexpected happens? Warm and Fuzzy are two best friends, and when Warm proposes going on an adventure, Fuzzy worries and has all the questions: Will there be enough toilet paper? What kinds of clothes should they bring? Where are they going? Warm reassures Fuzzy, and they do enjoy it, through all sorts of exciting adventures. Won’s warmly colored artwork shows some of Fuzzy’s anxieties as well as all the fun they have on their adventures. With themes of coping with anxiety, choosing to venture out even when it’s scary, and finding wonderment in every day events, Rothman’s book is a near ideal read-aloud for children. On their own, less experienced readers may be confused by the dialogue; neither text nor pictures indicates who the speaker is, and sometimes it seems as if both characters are speaking on a single image.
