Back to the Books!

I know it's been a while! I took a 6 month break from blogging but now I am back! The good news is that during the 6 months I have read SEVERAL books :) So I'll be posting several new reviews in the next couple of days. I thought I would start with a wonderful children's book.

You Will Be My Friend     Written by:  Peter Brown

                In this sequel to Brown’s, Children Make Terrible Pets, Lucy is on the hunt for a friend, and is determined to find one NOW. The precocious bear quickly realizes that it is harder than it looks to find a friend and she quickly becomes discouraged and feels she will NEVER find one. The something amazing happens; a friend is discovered right under Lucy’s nose! The vivid simplistic pictures make this a wonderful illustrated story and the use of colored speech bubbles supports the narrative’s flow. Children and adults will find themselves laughing at Lucy’s antics and will be rooting for her to find a friend. A perfect read-aloud for young children, the book’s underlying message is very clear: always be yourself and new friends will appear when you least expect it. 

This is a new favorite children's book! It is so cute, I loved Brown's other book, Children Make Terrible Pets, so it was no surprise that I also loved this one.
