Customer Reviews

Great book for lovers of stuffed animal friends!

"My Friend Harry" is a favorite of my grade 1 and 2 special education students. With each re-reading, the friendship between James and his stuffed animal friend, Harry, becomes more special and real. Although Harry says no words, he is personified beautifully by Kim Lewis. It's a wonderful, warm tale to help bridge the transition between home and school and all the emotions, happy and sad, that that entails. James wants to bring Harry to school until he adjusts to James' being gone but one suspects the separation is equally traumatic for both. "My Friend Harry" is a great vehicle for classroom (and home) discussion regarding feelings, love and friendship!
