A Boy's Best Friend Forever! Lenny and Wilbur by Ken Wilson-Max

LENNY AND WILBUR ARE THE BEST OF FRIENDS.

Wilbur sits when Lenny tells him to. He lets Lenny give him a warm bath with plenty of suds and a goatee of bubbles!

And when Wilbur's all clean and rinsed, he shakes and gives Lenny a bath!

The two eat lunch together. Lenny doesn't share from Wilbur's bowl, though.

They sing "Old MacDonald" together. Wilbur gets to do the "WOOF WOOFs" here and the "WOOFS WOOFs" there!

And when they are all tired out...

BEST FRIENDS REST TOGETHER!

Ken Wilson-Max's latest addition to his charming series, Lenny and Wilbur (Kane Miller, 2020) has owner Lenny and pet Wilbur just hangin' out and enjoying doing ordinary things together. Wilbur is the sort of big, companionable dog who makes people want to shake his paw and say, "You're a good dog, Wilbur!" Lenny is a good owner, too, giving his dog a nice warm bath and singing songs with Wilbur's cooperation, including soloing on the WOOF-WOOF passage, and young readers will find this one an easy one to breeze through. Share this one with Ken Wilson-Max's search-and-rescue romp, Where's Lenny?
