Iris and Walter (Paperback)
"Iris and Walter will join Frog and Toad and Henry and Mudge in a prominent place on the easy-reading shelves." —BCCB
After a move, Iris is sure that life in the country will be just awful. There's nothing to do and no one to play with. Iris will never be happy there.
Then Grandpa suggests a walk. Down the road and around the bend, they discover a huge green tree, a secret hideaway--and a boy named Walter. Maybe life far from the city won't be so lonely after all.
In the beloved Iris and Walter books, together Iris and Walter discover that anything—from adjusting to a new home to facing the first day of school—is easier when you have a best friend to help you.
