The book “A Book of Friends” is showing how many animals can have friends no matter the size of them, also shows that it doesn’t matter how many friends you have or how little friends someone may have. After reading it to children it can show them that even if someone doesn’t look the same as them it doesn't mean you can’t be friends with them. In the story it shows how there are many things to do with your friends such as going on a walk, sharing your toys, watching a movie or show more going on any adventures. It also says that some children may not have many friends but it doesn’t matter how many friends you have, the main point of having friends is not quantity, but quality. I feel like adding that into the story it really shows the children it doesn’t matter how many friends but instead how good the friendship may be, also showing that it isn’t scary asking people to be their friends and you can be friends with anyone you want to be friends with. It also mentioned some animals having imaginary friends which is just as important as having “real friends.” As a child I had an imaginary friend. Her name was Shelly, did you have an imaginary friend or friends growing up? show less

He wants to be an eagle instead. Mama Turtle tells him to try to be one. Tiny Turtle builds wings out of a tree branch and leaves, but it doesn't help him to fly. He asks eagles to teach him, and their mother grabs him and takes him high up in the air. She soon drops him. Tiny Turtle soon realizes that being an eagle show more isn't any fun, and he becomes thankful for being a turtle. This book really shows what Thanksgiving is all about with a fun adventure.

Cute description of types of hugs, but kind of sexist? Not sure we'll be keeping this one forever.

A lovely book to show children all the different hugs that one can get. From moms and dads to trees and animals. pk-1
