Bookroo's summary

An elephant and a mouse couldn't be more different—one loves soft music and warm weather, the other craves loud drums and icy adventures. Yet, their friendship thrives. Can they embrace their differences and stay best friends? Discover how opposites attract in this delightful tale of friendship.

From the publisher

Big is an elephant, Little is a mouse. Big enjoys soft music, warm weather, and small bites of savory foods. But Little prefers a loud drum jam, icy skiing weather, and mass quantities of sweets! Can two who are so different be best friends? This charming, rhyming concept book about opposites reminds us that in the end, best friends can be different as night and day–and they don’t need to change for anyone!
