Bear and Bird: The Picnic and Other Stories

Bear and Bird are best friends—kind, quirky, and sometimes just a little bit confused.

Whether it’s a missing sandwich at a picnic, a “talking” flower that has Bear scratching his head, or a cozy blanket that causes the coziest kind of chaos, this lovable duo always finds a way to stick together. Even when Bird feels a flutter of envy or Bear forgets picnic essentials, their friendship stays warm, funny, and full of heart.

In The Picnic and Other Stories, Jarvis delivers four delightfully silly and sweet tales packed with comic timing, cheerful surprises, and the kind of gentle honesty that makes best friendships so special. Perfect for early readers—or anyone who’s ever packed everything for a picnic except the food.
