This is a short book about moving into a new neighborhood and looking for new friends. I felt like it didn't express very much emotion about how it felt to not know anyone. But it did show that even when the neighborhood kids did not want to let Freddy play with them, he didn't just go home, he stayed and played by himself. This could be expressed as self confidence. But again, no emotion was expressed in the story. This would just be a good book for a beginning reader, not very good as a teachable theme.

“Who Will Be My Friend?” was written by Syd Hoff. It’s about Freddy finding a friend because he changed his house! I think this book is good and fun, because Freddy is fun. I like when Freddy meets new friends. I think everyone should read this book because they can learn how to make a new friend. I give this book three out of five stars! - Luna Jeong, Ivy Class, February 2018

Sydney Hoff, a well-known cartoonist, author, and illustrator of books for children and young adults, was born in 1912 New York City and raised in the Bronx. His young adult novel, Irving and Me, was named one of the 10 best books for children by the New York Times. Hoff first became interested in drawing as a child. Although he dropped out of show more public school, he later attended the National Academy of Design in New York City, where he studied to become a serious painter. However, at the age of 18 he sold his first cartoon to The New Yorker; this launched his career as a cartoonist. Hoff has also drawn cartoon advertisements for CBS and has written short mysteries for popular mystery magazines. One of his earliest and most enduringly popular works is Danny and the Dinosaur, published in 1958. He wrote this book to entertain one of his daughters who was sick. Hoff's audience is, for the most part, the young child who likes clear illustrations, friendly animals, and a limited text. Hoff died of pneumonia on May 12, 2004 in Miami, Florida. He and his wife, Dora, had two children. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
