Gaspard and Lisa Friends Forever Written by Anne Gutman Illustrated by Georg Hallensleben · Knopf Books for Young Readers · Hardcover · Ages 3-7 years · September 9, 2003 · $9.95 · 978-0-375-82253-7 (0-375-82253-4)

Gaspard and Lisa have been friends for a long time . . . ever since last year. In Gaspard and Lisa Friends Forever, Gaspard recounts how he and Lisa met on the first day of school. At first, Gaspard wants nothing to do with her, especially after his classmates joke about how much they look alike, but then Gaspard’s teacher forces him to choose Lisa for his relay team. Despite her unusual kangaroo-hop running style, Lisa wins the race for Gaspard’s team and the rest is history—Gaspard and Lisa become friends forever!

Husband-and-wife team Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben have collaborated on ten books in the Misadventures of Gaspard and Lisa series. Hallensleben is also the award-winning illustrator of And If the Moon Could Talk and Close Your Eyes, both written by Kate Banks.
