A gorgeous modern classic about an unlikely friendship and learning to get along, from beloved Australian author-illustrator Sue deGennaro.

Bear and Duck are best friends, even though they're very different. Duck likes to try new things, and Bear ... well, Bear likes not to! But when Duck needs a friend for her dance class, Bear reluctantly agrees. Will Bear’s big size causes problems, or can he be a good dancer anyway?
