The picturebook story of two rodent best friends

Superbly illustrated with the full color artwork of Linda Hendry, Sharon Jennings' Priscilla And Rosy is the picturebook story of two rodent best friends. But when Priscilla wants to go on a boat trip rather than spend her day off with Rosy like she promised, she considers telling a little fib to get out of being with her friend. The "white lie" seems harmless... so why does Priscilla feel so ratty? Priscilla And Rosy is a gentle yet thoughtful story for young readers about the importance of honesty and the value of true friendship.
