Tiny & Hercules by Amy Schwartz

PreK-2. Tiny, an elephant, and Hercules, a mouse, are best friends. They share many adventures in Schwartz's picture book-sized short story collection. In the first story, Hercules teaches Tiny to ice skate with a humorous result. In the second story, Tiny helps Hercules find inspiration for his artistic masterpiece. In the third story, the friends set up a lemonade stand, but soon find themselves with a bunch of unhappy customers. In the fourth story, the friends throw a birthday party for Hercules' Uncle Roy who is turning 103 and has a little trouble blowing out all the candles on his cake! In the fifth story, Tiny and Hercules knit each other sweaters.

These stories are fun whether read one at a time or all in one sitting!
