Bookroo's summary

In a lively savanna, an egret and a rhinoceros explore the complexities of friendship. As Egret tries to teach Rhino about sharing and respect, their bond is tested by misunderstandings and sticky situations. When Egret finds himself in trouble, Rhino must step up, revealing that true friendship thrives on communication and kindness. Can this unlikely duo navigate their differences and strengthen their connection?

From the publisher

An egret and a rhinoceros navigate the ups and downs of their symbiotic relationship–which is more like a friendship!–in this warm and witty book from bestselling author-illustrator Mark Teague. In a not-so-simple symbiotic friendship between two pals, Egret does his best to teach Rhino about how to be a friend. Friends eat together, have fun together, and help each other out, right? But they also respect boundaries, recognize their differences, and compromise (sometimes). When Egret ends up in a sticky situation, it’s Rhino to the rescue as this unlikely pair realizes that communication and kindness are the key to any friendship.
