Virgil and Owen are best friends! They love playing together at home and at school. But sometimes even best friends can be very different. Virgil loves to be the first one to school. Owen likes to take his time. Virgil always raises his hand the fastest. Owen likes to think things through. One day Virgil hurries Owen a bit too much, and their friendship is suddenly on thin ice. Will Virgil be able to see that a little patience goes a long way between friends?

    Virgil and Owen, the penguin/polar bear duo whose story began in the eponymous Virgil & Owen, return in this second picture-book adventure, this time confronting a new issue in their growing friendship. Whilst Virgil likes to do everything quickly, Owen likes to take his time. Unfortunately, Virgil's penchant for trying to control his friend is still evident, as he continually finishes his tasks for him, rather than allowing him to complete them himself. Eventually Owen has had enough, and lets out a might roar, sending Virgil into a snow heap. Is it the end for these two polar friends...?Like its predecessor, Virgil & Owen Stick Together offers an exploration of the theme of friendship for the preschool picture-book set, demonstrating the right and wrong ways of interacting with our companions. The message here is particularly apt, I would think, as so many young children do have a natural tendency toward impatience, just as Virgil does. I was amused to see, after noting the arctic/antarctic mash-up involved in these stories - polar bears and penguins live on different ends of the earth, after all, and would be unlikely to meet in the wild - that the author dedicates her book "To making friends with your polar opposite!" Apparently she is well aware of the ecological fantasy involved something I wondered about, reading the first book. With a sweet story, and the same fun artwork as the first - I like how Paulette Bogan captures the personalities of her two main characters - this is a book I would recommend to anyone looking for good stories about friendship for younger children, as well as to any readers who enjoyed the first Virgil and Owen title.

    friends in a hurry, and friends who are slow ... can get on each other's nerves.
