Review
There are all kinds of friends in our lives, children are aware of those around them and naturally interact with others. Regardless of the setting friends can be found; they may be at day care or school, in camp, neighbors, members of the family, or friends met through athletics and activities. This book highlights the many faces of friends and shows real joy on the faces of the adorable children. There appears to be nothing staged, the interactions are genuine and the smiles real. Everyone will love the photography, especially Rotner's cover photo.
Not only are the photos engaging, the book design is simple and well-spaced for easy perusal. There is a scrapbook feeling to the colorful pages. Early readers will be able to read the large print sentences and phrases. Although the price is high I recommend adding this to public libraries and purchase as a gift for your favorite pre-school – K child.
Overall Book Score: very good
