Pretty much always love picture books illustrated by Gyo Fujikawa, and this is no exception. These books bring back wonderful memories of when Erin was little.

Mary is lonely. She meets Harry and Larry and they become the best of friends. Highly recommended. Multicultural. Sweet story.

My sister had a copy of this book when we were kids. I read every book in the house at least once, so I know I read this one too. I remember there was a character named Smudge. That's a cute name.
