Kito & Boris #3

The third volume of Aimée de Jongh's charming Dutch series finds the big, lovable Boris sprawled contentedly across a sturdy tree branch while little Kito plays a harmonica beside him, musical notes drifting into the air. A delightful flock of colorful birds — yellow, green, red, and blue — perches and flutters through the blossoming tree all around them, seemingly drawn in by the tune. Subtitled Speel je mee? ("Want to play along?"), this 2015 entry from De Eenhoorn radiates the same warm, playful energy that makes this bear-and-rabbit friendship so endearing.
