Houndsley and Catina are best friends with different passions—canoeing and biking. But when Houndsley takes Catina canoeing, her chatter disrupts his peace. Later, Houndsley hesitates to join Catina on a bike ride. Can they discover what's truly bothering them and find a way to enjoy their adventures together? Dive into this delightful tale of friendship and understanding, where the challenge lies in balancing personal joys with shared experiences.

From the publisher

This Candlewick Sparks title offers newly independent readers the chance to experience early fiction from one of today’s most talented author-and-illustrator teams.Houndsley loves to canoe. Catina loves to ride bikes. But when Houndsley takes Catina out canoeing, she chatters the whole time, drowning out the sounds Houndsley loves, like the call of birds or the plink and plunk of the paddles. And when Catina wants to go biking, Houndsley balks at going. What is wrong with Catina? And what is wrong with Houndsley? From the creators of the E. B. White Read Aloud winner Houndsley and Catina comes another adventure about a charming pair of friends.
