Chester's Way
Cautious friends Chester and Wilson are taken aback when rambunctious Lilly moves into the neighborhood. They gradually discover they have a few interests in common and can learn new ways to do things from each other, as the twosome becomes a threesome. Bright colors, droll humor and childlike animal characters distinguish a charming, wonderfully designed story of friendship. ©1988 Cooperative Children's Book Center
