A compendium of heartwarming tales about friendship

Packed with a treasury of thoroughly enjoyable short stories by Sally Grindley, and soft color illustrations by Penny Dann that blend with and enhance the entertaining text, The Big What Are Friends For? Storybook makes for excellent bedtime reading.

Delightful!

My children and I love this story! It is refreshing to find a tale of friendship that touches on sharing and helping, but also on differing opinions and hurt feelings. The story weaves nicely through all of these aspects of friendship and still manages to end happily. The illustrations convey all of the emotions of the two sweet characters most effectively. This delightful story easily led to conversation with my preschoolers on the value of true friends.
