Here is the book that Romeo would have given Juliet, Charlie Brown would have given Snoopy, and you can give to some very special friend. This special book expresses the true meaning of friendship in a long list of ways with charming accompanying illustrations

This is sooo sweet! I love that it can apply to friendship between children, or to that special soul-mate love between adults. It's just so simple yet so true in its gentle, everyday reasons for liking someone--while showing that, really, the empathy found in those situations is the heart of it all.
Such a sweet book.
Perfect for friends, children, anyone.
It puts friendship in concrete terms that anyone will understand.
The last time I read it?
Aloud to a friend I had just made over the summer, at the airport, before he left to go home.
He came to sublet my room.
From the second he arrived, we were like two peas in a pod.
Only, this little pea had to leave.
We did get to spend some time together.
And we both talked about how crazy it was to just meet and then feel so close.
We were both sad that we...more

A joyous, sweet book about friendship. I bought it for my sister's birthday because it reminded me of a children's book she had when she was little, with its charming illustrations. I also chose the book for her because it gets at what is important in a real friendship - allowing someone to be themselves, accepting them for who they are and how they're feeling in the moment. This book is a small treasure with a big heart. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to see their best friend smile.
One of the best books that I've read in years - seriously. One of the best things about children's books is that they don't beat around the bush. After the first page, I knew this was a book that I would have to buy...and give to my friends. Simple but touching.
i ADORE this book. found it at a flea market and thought it was a rare jewel and gave it to my husband for valentine's. then i realized it is sold at bookstores worldwide, so i began to give it to all my best friends. it is such a charming li'l book.
Whether your friend is new to you or an old & dearly beloved, they would surely appreciate the sentiments of this little book. Which is sweet without being saccharine and perfect for that special crocodile in your life. - Dora-
Got this today for my birthday from the love of my life. Read it in one sitting and it beautifully encapsulates our relationship. The only way it could be better is if the word "like" was replaced with "love" :)
<3 just the cutest, "true blue" love described in this children's book. Give it as gift to your lover, child, etc. They'll love it & feel all fuzzy & warm inside just as you did while reading it.
I absolutely loved this book! The author does an excellent job of painting a picture of his friendship. This is great for taking about friendship. I just wish I could change the illustrations
This book was read at my wedding. The simple sentiment makes me cry every time I pick it up. It's not just a children's book, its a great gift for a loved one, no matter their age.
Loved it! Such a sweet book. I originally gave this to my husband (boyfriend at that time), but I love that our daughter can read it later on as well.
I freaking love this book. Everyone you like should be all of these things to you. Everyone should read this. EVERYONE.
so cute... and not just for children! It would make a really cute v-day or anniversary present too.
Cole adores the line "oops, too late, it's a quarter past silly," it sends him into gales of giggles
This is a sweet, quirky little book. Just as the description says, this makes a great gift for friends.
The best little short book ever. Very well written and directly to the point. Short and sweet.
This is the most tender book I have ever read. A must gift for all those you feel closest to.
I love this book. So what that it's a little long. It's good for ya. Five stars otherwise.
The best story to read aloud to a friend of any age - or take turns reading it to each other.
yet another childhood book. i gave my dad this as a present when i was much older. it is so cute!
This is an awesome book that you can read to cheer you up or give to any good friend.
I love this book. It's a perfect gift for anyone that you love to be silly with.
This is by far my favorite childrens book, and I didn't find it till I went to college.

A present from my then boyfriend became a cherished book from my now husband.
