Format:Paperback
This teaches that friendship is reciprocal - your child doesn't have to go along with other kids all the time and they, in turn are expected to reciprocate by letting your child come first. Good teaching book. Too many books advocate giving guests their way at the expense of their host. Fortunately, this one doesn't. Useful for classes and families.

Format:Paperback
My 6 year old son is autistic and in mainstream school. He loved this book and has learnt a great deal from it - it's a bit like an indepth social story. I think this book should be available to all primary 1 children as it covers so many issues regarding making friends and what to say to friends and how to know if someone is your friend. Fantastic book!

Format:Paperback
An excellent book to share. Colourful pictures & simple text. Lots of opportunity to ask questions of my 4 year old as to how she thinks a friend should act & why. She will be going to primary school in 5 months & this book has enabled me to explore how she may feel if someone does not act like a friend, the importance of sharing, listening & a number of other useful skills that will help with her next big life event!! My one criticism would be the inevitable use of some American terminology but it is easy to replace. A lovely book!
