The Best Friends Book
Best friends can be pretty remarkable, especially if they're anything  like Todd Parr's pals. For him, a best friend is someone who "will tell you  funny jokes even if you blow milk out of your nose when you laugh." Best friends  "will forgive you even if you step on their paw." And best friends "will keep in  touch with you even if you move a million miles away." This delightful, bright  book sets high (if sometimes silly) standards for friendship. Even with the  exceptionally goofy lines ("Best friends will share their pizza with you even if  you want to wear the pepperoni"), the point is well made: friendship is  unconditional and terrifically important. Kids of all ages will enjoy the bright  colors, bold lines, and unambiguous, fun message.Parr's little square books with big color and cheerful commentary on life (The Okay Book,This Is My Hair, andDo's and Don'ts) will surely  brighten the gloomiest moods.
