Bad Bye, Good Bye by Deborah Underwood illustrated by Jonathan Bean*

Mr. Bean's illustration enhance the story of a boy moving and feeling very reluctant about leaving his house and best friend.   He and Ms. Underwood must have had a lot of dialogue to ensure he was telling the story how she wanted it told!  This book is a great example of how the illustrations tell the story too.
*Highly recommend.
