This is a nice book to read to younger students about friendship. It has a poem on every page about something that person likes. This shows children things to like in their life that they might take for granted. (

The Friendly Book starts off almost every page with "I like...". There are a number of topics with many different examples of each thing that is liked. To name a few mentioned in the book there are trains, snow, dogs and boats. The illustrations are colorful and full of details that adds humor to the book.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307106438, Hardcover)

I like cars / Red cars, green cars / Sports limousine cars / I like cars . . .Since 1954 parents and children have adored The Friendly Book, where everything is likable, from bugs to boats and from cars to stars. Garth Williams’s lively illustrations are a perfect counterpart to Margaret Wise Brown’s playful lists of wonderful things.
