Synopsis

'What will I do without you?' asks Figgy Twosocks as her friend Jefferson Bear prepares to hibernate for winter. Alone in the wintry woods, with only her naughty brothers, Big Smudge and Floppylugs, to play with, Figgy Twosocks feels sad and sulky, until she finds a new playmate in Hoptail the squirrel. A poignant story with a reassuring message, this sequel to What Are Friends For? is perfect for all young children exploring the art of making new friends and learning how to deal with separation. The gentle text and irresistible artwork makes this a picture book ideal for sharing with even the smallest child.
