My Best Friend

My 23-month-old daughter just LOVES this book. We are asked to read this book from a few times up to a dozen times a day! Not only does it echo her desire to have a companion of similar age, the activities in the book are common enough for her to imagine herself as one of the characters. When asked which friend is she, she would inevitably point at the neat one!

This is the first book my little daughter (3 years old) has borrowed from the school library. Only when I started reading it to her that I knew why she chose this particular one. Not only that the little visitor in this book looks very much like her, but that the story indeed echoes her much dear wish of having a very good friend of her own. I as an adult also enjoy this book very much. The two children are lovely. The story also reminds me of the fact that a best friend does not only set standard for you to keep up with, he or she will stand by you whenver you feel upset, frightened and frustrated.
