I thought that this was a good story about overcoming when you have a difference of opinion with someone. The friendship was experiencing issues over a small subject and ultimately resolved it. I thought that the story was going to have amore in depth social issue due to the cover however it is a good lesson that kids should learn at a young age; you wont always agree but try and find a compromise. Good to read to elementary school grades 2-5

I originally chose this book based on the cover because had a white girl and African American boy on it. I thought it could have been a good lesson on interracial relationships for elementary students of any age. However, it did not have any kind of lesson on that subject. I would use this book to teach a lesson about overcoming difference of opinions because relationships with people matter more. I would use this book for third or fourth graders.

: This book is about friendship between Molly and Ben who were best friends, neighbors, and old friends. They saved money for buying a wonderful tent but they fought with opinion what each wanted. But eventually they apologized each other. This was little simple story. But it is good for children, I think. Many people experience conflicts of opinion. Children also do, not just adults. But if they think about others, how their idea will change.

Good story about e friendship that was broken over a small argument. The best friends learn to comprise and learn that their friendship is more important. A great story for children to learn the importance of friendship.

Molly and Ben have always been friends, doing everything together -- including celebrating their birthdays. Until they had their big fight.
True friendship requires forgiveness, selflessness and compromise.

Best friends Molly and Ben fight right before their annual shared birthday party. What caused the fight and will they make up in time for the shared families' celebration?

A story that many students would be able to relate to, friends fighting over small issues. I love the subtle messages throughout the text that are depicted in the illustrations.

A book about friendship, and compromise. Friends wont always agree, but that doesn't mean they cant still be friends. Also shows generosity but the money they saved and spent on each other.
