This book is just what children need. In the hustle and bustle of today's nomadic families, the children's needs and feelings sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Adults sometimes forget the fears that children have about making new friends, and I think this book helps solve some of those fears and questions through a brilliant use of simplicity...Just follow the RECIPE! The colorful illustrations catch the readers eye as the story moves you through the process of a young boy and his frog following the "recipe for friends!" I love this book and my children have a ball looking at the pictures over and over again.
Not only is the thought process of this book excellent. The drawings are absolutely phenomenal! This is must reading for every child who is moving and must find the recipe for making friends and it is must reading for every child who comes in contact with "new" kids. It helps them realize what that child is going through
This is a wonderful book about making friends. It is about a kid who has moved to a new school, and doesn't have any friends yet. His mom tells him that she knows the recipe for making friends: be nice, and thoughtful, and so on. By the end of the first week, the child has made a new friend. The recipe worked!Good for ages 4 and up!
Read this to my four year old once, he has never wanted to read it again. This book is cute but is more on the preachy less on the fun content side. Even my four year old was able to see the hidden agenda in the book. The concept is clear and it is yet another way of communicating what it takes to be a friend.
