Friends: Making Them & Keeping Them [With 5 Mini Friendship Posters]

This is a very well written book. It provides a good way to start important conversations between pre-teen girls and their parents/grandparents about the importance of making and keeping good friends. Thanks.

Bette Middler sang about it -- You gotta have friends! American Girl will explain it all to the tween in your life: how to meet friends, keep friends, avoid arguments, and keep on having fun through it all! This book is a must have for girls and their families. Conversations will be started, communication will grow, and happiness will abound. Now, what could be wrong with that? This book is filled with wonderful illustrations that underscore the lively writing. Absolutely recommended!

My niece is 9 and I gave this to her as one of her Christmas gifts. She loves her other books from the American Girl series and this one is no exception. She began reading it immediately and then discussing it with me. It was a big hit! And it seems very practical and useful for helping young girls navigate those early relationships with friends.

Why I bought this book because I need it for my reference for current project. I love the illustrations and contents. Stacy Peterson is my favorite illustrator. This is a very colorful and educational book for young girls. I love it!

My [....] and I are really enjoying reading this book. While it is aimed, I think, at slightly older girls, We are reading it and talking about how to handle certain situations, how to start up conversations with girls you don't know, etc. I think it is a great starting point for girls who are just starting to be faced with girlie friendship dilemmas.
