A Book of Friends

Rating:
Summary: Saccharine, but has some good tips for young children
Review: "A Book of Friends" is a picture book with text enumerating the many different kinds of friends one can have (pen pals, best friends, imaginary friends, family, and so on). Younger children will probably enjoy the illustrations, and there are "Hints on how to be a good friend" that could be very useful to children who are learning the basics of interaction in groups. Children who are beginning to read will find the semi-script typeface frustratingly illegible. I ordered this book for my first grader, but it's going to his kindergarten teacher.
