85. George & Lenny Are Always Together. Jon Agee. 2025. 40 pages. [Source: Library] [5 stars, animal fantasy, friendship, picture book]

First sentence: George was always with Lenny. And Lenny was always with George. Say, George! Have you ever noticed that we are always together. Yes, Lenny! It's terrific. We are never alone! I wonder, George. What is it like to be alone? Lonely, I bet. And sad! But George, what if being alone is just as much fun as being together?

Premise/plot: George (the bear) and Lenny (the bunny) are best, best, best friends who are always together. But what if they weren't always together. What if--gasp--they took a few hours away from each other! What if Lenny had alone time? What if George had alone time? What if they had alone-time together?! 

My thoughts: I enjoyed this one. The story was cute and adorable. I liked both Lenny and George. I loved, loved, loved the illustrations. Overall, this one is a delightful read about friendship.
