Explorers of the Wild by Atkinson, Cale

Vibrant art shines in this sweet tale of outdoor adventure and unlikely friendship, from the illustrator of Night Night, Groot!

Boy and Bear both love to explore the outdoors. There are so many neat things to see, and so many strange things to find. These explorers are prepared for anything . . . except each other!

When Bear and Boy meet in the woods, they're scared at first. Really scared. But soon these kings of the wild realize that no mountain is too big to conquer if you have a friend to climb it by your side.
