Ebb and Flo and the New Friend

"Ebb & Flo and the New Friend" is a simply charming story about a girl and her dog. In this story, Ebb & Flo make a new friend --- but not at first. A duck intrudes upon the friendship of these two. Ebb the dog does not like the duck at all. She tries to sleep with him and eats his food. But eventually he starts to come see things differently. The illustrations in this are a wonderful soothing watercolor. They're quite something to look at. This series was recently turned into a series of shorts called "Zee's Bookshelf" airing on Noggin, and I couldn't think of a better series of books for it to happen to.
