Amos the mouse and Boris the whale: a devoted pair of friends with
nothing at all in common, except good hearts and a willingness to help
their fellow mammal. They meet after Amos sets out to sail the sea and
finds himself in extreme need of rescue. And there will come a day, long
after Boris has gone back to a life at sea and Amos has gone back to
life on dry land, when the tiny mouse must find a way to rescue the
great whale.
Amos & Boris is a 1971 New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated
