Who Will Be My Friends?

I bought this book for my grandson. He is beginning to read & he loves books.

Not p.c., but hey it's fiction!

Freddy moves into a new neighborhood and looks for new friends. A classic 60's story, which appeals to every child, lovely pictures, and an easy read for pre-schoolers. Will they care that there are only white boys in the story? That Freddy wears a bow-tie to the playground? PG advised!

Great book for the new reader in your house

I am a college student right now who volunteers at a local elementary school. I am doing a reading system with them and this is their favorite book to read. It is written for k-1st grade level and the topic of the book relates to what children go through when they move into a new neighborhood. It also teaches the children to make new friends. Freddy is the main character in this book and he tries to find new friends until he finally meets some boys at the park who are playing baseball and they let him play with them. I recommend this book to any family who is trying to start their child towards the reading path.

Syd Hoff is perhaps the finest childrens author around.

This story is great for teachers to read on the first day of school. The illustrations are simple yet compelling. It is also a great book for a teacher to read when a new student arrives. It can be read over and over again and never loses it's appeal. Syd Hoff's simple nature of writing inspires young people to read.
