Overview
I like you and you like me,
and though we're different as can be . . .
we both like being friends!
In lilting rhyme and charming images two true-blue best friends proclaim their differences, and have fun with them too. So when one wants to play baseball and the other prefers a game of dress-up, a true pal finds she can pitch while wearing a tiara. And though one buddy favors days and the other nights-both like having pillow fights!
Two very different girls find that the joy of being friends enables them to share their various likes and dislikes.
Synopsis
Two very different girls find that the joy of being friends enables them to share their various likes and dislikes.
School Library Journal
PreS-K-Through rhyming text, Beaumont conveys the joys of friendship between two girls while celebrating their similarities and differences. The words bounce along in language appropriate for children who are making their first friends: "I am me/and you are you./I like red/and you like blue." Many of the verses end with a line noting what both children like to do: "I like Saturn./You like Mars./We both like counting falling stars." Allen's expressive, colorful pastel illustrations on full spreads match the cheerful text, and offer lots of details to explore. Try this at storytime along with other books on friendship.-Doris Losey, Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library, Tampa, FL Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
