    K-Gr 2—Roland, a lonely rabbit, encounters a lone pine cone while walking in the woods. Longing for companionship, Roland names the pine cone Milton and brings him home. Together they enjoy music, drawing, and tea parties. Though Roland is thrilled to have his companion, he begins seeing signs that Milton might be someone else's friend. Not wanting anyone to experience the loneliness he felt, Roland sets out to return Milton to his rightful owner. Salsbury's understated art and neutral color palette capably advance the story. Readers will have many moments to ponder loneliness, friendship, and loss. VERDICT: This picture book is charming in its simplicity and thoughtful in centering empathy as it quietly affirms the specialness of imaginary friends.—Maegen Rose, Rye Country Day Sch., NY
