Brunus and the New Bear — Ellen Stoll Walsh

Benjamin and his stuffed bear, Brunus, have been best friends for a very long time. But when Benjamin gets a little bear named Heek, Brunus begins to think Benjamin is spending too much time with the new bear. Sad and jealous, he decides that Heek has to go. It's up to Benjamin to prove to Brunus that even the best of friends can make room for someone new. “A well-tuned work, with themes, story, and art that fit precisely.”-Booklist
