PreS-K-This simple concept book explores what it means to have a "best friend." Boys and girls play together, share food and toys, get angry and fight, and say tearful good-byes. The round-faced cartoon characters are dressed in clothes with basic patterns, and are placed against bold, solid backgrounds of yellow, turquoise, and white. Dodd plays with perspective on some of the pages, which offers added interest to the art. This solid title celebrates friendship with a diverse group of children and acknowledges both the joys and challenges of being a "best bud."-Shelley B.
