Review
Even close friendships can be challenged by misunderstanding. Horowitz has provided parents, teachers and librarian an opportunity to have open discussions about hurtful words and miscommunication. As Beatrice and Abel experience isolation young readers will see how words and actions impact relationships. The characters resolve their differences and say the all-important words: I’m sorry.
The illustrations by Gomez enhance the text and provide color as well as detail. This is a book that nursery schools and day care centers will want on their shelves. It would also be appreciated by primary school social workers and fit into the media center.
Overall Book Score: very good
