Kindergarten-Grade 2 In three brief stories, Chloe and Maude experience the vicissitudes of friendship, bringing to mind such staples of the genre as Marshall's "George and Martha" series (Houghton) and Lobel's "Frog and Toad" (Harper). Steady, resourceful Chloe resolves Maude's bouts with ego problems and, in an overnight visit, an imagined menace on the bedroom ceiling. Young readers will probably find Maude's problems familiar ones; given a little help with a few exotic words, many will be able to read the book independently. Adults may recognize the neckless kitty figures of Chloe and Maude as kissing cousins of the droll little animals in Boynton's greeting card line. Despite their squat proportions, they have made the leap from card to book with considerable success. Janet French, Centennial School District Libraries, Warminster, Pa.
