Parent Council Reviews
Trying to please others via little superfluous things is the way to make friends. Timothy is only happy and comfortable at his new school when he expresses himself and finds a friend with whom he shares things in common. Rosemary Wells does it again—a nice gift choice. 2000, Puffin Books, $5.99. Ages 3 to 5. Reviewer: A. Braga SOURCE: Parent Council Volume 8
