Two houses stand side by side: one is home to a dog, the other to a young girl. A fence divides them, but one day, the girl pokes a finger through to say hello — and even offers a peanut butter cracker. Then she comes back that evening with an armful of books. "I hope you don't mind," she says. "I've noticed that no one every plays with you — and I like reading aloud."
As she reads each story, the pair imagine themselves inside it... together. Before long, the two have created a vivid friendship rooted in make-believe, and neither is lonely any more. Paired with moving illustrations and based on a true story, this endearing tale from the author of I, Cosmo tenderly evokes the power of stories to bring — and keep — us together.
