APPEALS TO: MANY

Nine short stories about Panda and Squirrel and their friendship. No matter what happens, little disagreements, arguments, and other things, they find each other again in the end and they are grateful for their friendship. They realize they are very different, but that does not stop them from being best friends.

I loved this book. I haven’t read a book about such a cute friendship since the Frog and Toad books. This was refreshing and fun reading. The illustrations are beautiful and the paper used in the book is really nice. This would be an amazing read-aloud book to a young class and have many interesting discussions about friendship and what it means to be a friend. This is definitely a MUST READ!
