Two best friends quarrel, and the protagonist muses on how he could say he is sorry. A bit wistful in tone. Certainly useful to read to kids who are getting into fights with each other, and to open up discussion about what they could do to get over the fight.

Shows that even best friends fight. It also explains that you need to say sorry when your at fault in order to keep a friendship going.
This is a story about two friends. It regales you with the details about their adventures together and how close they are. Then, they get into a fight. Suddenly, things are not as perfect as they once were. The main character thinks about what he would say, or what she should say to him.

It is touching and cute. Truly feels as if a child was saying or thinking these things.

For ages: 4-9. Very sweet book.

This book shows the relationship between two best friends that learn the importance of saying I'm sorry and continue being friends even when they don't always get a long. Sometimes it's hard to say the right thing when you're upset but to remember that in the end they can still be friends.
