Review
Little blonde Tim and little brown-haired Tim are very best friends and will be forever. They go everywhere together and do everything together. Then Tom comes along and havoc ensues. Tom likes to do certain things that blonde Tim enjoys but brown-haired Tim does not and vice versa. Neither Tim knows how to swim and Tom endeavors to teach them both. Will they ever be able to all get along together? You will have to read this tale all the way to the end to find out. At the conclusion of the story, a fourth child appears, leaving the reader to wonder how the friendships and situation might evolve. The illustrations are soft and pastel, using lots of white space. This story might be especially good for children trying to widen their circle of friends.
Overall Book Score: very good
