PreSchool-K - A didactic story about the friendship between two cubs. When Simon's team practice encroaches on his time with Jag, she sets out to find someone new to play with. After meeting Bo, a snake that almost tricks her into betraying an old friend, Jag realizes that hanging out with the wrong company may bring trouble. Large, childlike watercolors of the appealing little animals express the loneliness of the little jaguar and her ultimate repentance. Although they help soften the moralistic tone, the lesson is the focus of this offering.

Kurzbeschreibung
Jag's best friend, Simon, always seems too busy to spend time with her. Even Jag's old friend Isabel the parrot is rarely home these days. Jag is at her loneliest when along comes Bo, a snake willing to play all of Jag's favorite games. But Bo has something other than fun and games on his mind--he is counting on Jag to help him raid a nest. Will Jag choose Bo over her true friends? This lively jungle story about loyalty and trust is the perfect complement to Jag, the first book by this talented trio.
