The miracle of friendship spills from every page， bringing in not only the ups but also the downs to create a touching and warming read。This book is all about friendship。 While the cover already hints at the diversity covered in these pages， that's only the beginning。 Friendship ranges from old to young， short moments to year-long relationships， and includes happy times as well as sad experiences。 All of that comes into play with only a short phrase or two on each page， making this a nice read-a The miracle of friendship spills from every page， bringing in not only the ups but also the downs to create a touching and warming read。This book is all about friendship。 While the cover already hints at the diversity covered in these pages， that's only the beginning。 Friendship ranges from old to young， short moments to year-long relationships， and includes happy times as well as sad experiences。 All of that comes into play with only a short phrase or two on each page， making this a nice read-aloud， which lets these illustrations really shine。The illustrations bring each situation to life， allowing the scenes to hit with familiarity and draw young readers/listeners in。 The vast array of characters and situations not only demonstrates the huge range friendship covers， but also gives something for almost every reader/listener to identify with。。。good and sad。 The ending leaves a positive note with a sense of care and warmth。I received a DRC and enjoyed the broad spectrum this book covers。 。。。more
