"Otis and Peanut are back! Grounded in the . . . supportive friendship between a long-haired guinea pig and a naked mole rat, the second book in this junior graphic novel series explores themes of celebrating life's simple pleasures, grief, and making new memories with sensitivity, humor, and optimism. The three stories in this book reveal how the pair feel the loss of Pearl, Peanut's sister and Otis's friend. In 'The Cake,' Peanut bakes a sweet treat for Otis using Pearl's recipe and teaches him that there's always a good reason to eat cake--even if it's for no reason at all! In 'The Dream,' Peanut is missing his sister, but finds a way to keep her memory close. And in 'The Collection,' the two friends celebrate old memories, and make some new ones"--Provided by publisher.
