The Importance
of Being Ernie (and Bert) is broken into seven chapters. Each chapter is full
of tricks and tips to help any kind of relationship flourish. Top Tip for
Roommate Living: HAVE AN EMERGENCY PLAN. Emergency step one: find your Rubber
Duckie! Words to live by: GROWING UP ISN’T
EASY. So why do it? Bert’s friendship advice: A GOOD FRIEND IS LIKE HOT
CHOCOLATE. Both make you warm and fuzzy inside. (But hot chocolate never
borrows your socks without asking.) With chapters on Celebrating Your
Differences and Words to Live By both Bert and Ernie (or Ernie and Bert!) give
us great insights on how to not only be a best friend but a kind and loving
human being.
Bert and Ernie star in this must have book on “A Best Friends Guide to Life.” Readers immediately know they are in for a treat when they realize the hardbound cover has a pull tab that changes the title from focusing on Ernie and putting the spotlight on Bert! We loved Bert and Ernie’s candor
and advice. The Importance of Being
Ernie (and Bert) would be a perfect platform in any home or school to discuss topics
of friendship and kindness. We loved the
honesty and the humor. The photography
is bold and inviting. Giving this guide
to a new college student, a newly married couple, or sharing its wisdom in
classrooms or homes will certainly bring more peace, contentment and joy to the
world.
