A delightful story about friends learning to understand each other.</b> <p/>It's almost Stick Bug's birthday, and his fashionable friend Beetle can't wait to give him his present--a purple puffy coat! The coat draws a lot of attention and makes Stick Bug really stick out in the crowd. Beetle thinks that's terrific! He brings Stick Bug all over town, happily boasting and bragging (while Stick Bug waits behind a tree, in a pile of leaves, or under a bench). Oh, dear--maybe Stick Bug isn't as wild about the purple puffy coat as Beetle is! What can the two friends do? Charming illustrations bring to life both characters' endearing struggles in this warm and humorous story about learning to pay attention to what makes your friend happy rather than what makes <i>you</i> happy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Boelts's energetic text and Duncan's comical, delicate illustrations, showing a thoroughly embarrassed Stick Bug and a delighted Beetle, combine to make this picture book a silly treat that will have readers giggling and pointing while learning valuable social-emotional lessons about personalities and relationships. Delightfully funny and warm.<br>--Kirkus Reviews <p/>Squat, mustachioed Beetle makes a humorous counterpart to slender, bespectacled Stick Bug, and the addition of the voluminous purple coat to the latter's stickly form is especially amusing. It's clear no misbegotten coat will come between the two antennaed friends, and a quick repurposing by Stick Bug allows them both to enjoy it.<br>--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Maribeth Boelts</b> is the author of many books for young readers, including <i>Those Shoes</i> and <i>A Bike Like Sergio's</i>, <i> </i>both illustrated by Noah Z.
