Two solitary aardvarks are both in need of a friend but seem destined never to meet. A little bird conjures up ever sillier schemes to bring the two together but will his matchmaking succeed? Now in paperback, this is the quirky tale of a blossoming relationship from one of my favourite contemporary picture book creators. What might be cloying in the hands of another is here a feel-good treat infused with Hood's trademark playfulness and cheer.
