BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K, EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW
This is a book of curated art depicting a wide range of things, with words to tie the art to the theme of friendship. A mid-size board book, it is sturdy and meant to withstand little hands and lots of page turns.
The art in this book is delightful, and the way it is paired with words about friends and friendship is truly superb. It is hard to know, however, to whom this book should be directed: little ones--those who might prefer a board book--aren't likely to appreciate the art, nor the friendship guidance. Older children may understand the art and friendship themed connections but aren't likely to want to hold and read a board book. This book would be great for grown-ups to read to their audience, perhaps to spark discussions and delight in the pictures together.
