Peach and Blue

A wonderful story of friendship. Blue helps Peach to realize her dream of seeing new things and in doing so Peach helps Blue to see his own world differently.

I have to laugh at some of the other reviews of this book. "Sentimental slop"? Okay, that reviewer has his opinion. If this is slop, then I'm hopelessly sloppy. And, sure, the peach is going to "rot " (that reviewer must be a comedian), but little kids don't know that!This is a tale of caring, togetherness, appreciating the beauty in what we sometimes overlook, working together to achieve a goal, and pure friendship. All great attributes for children to be exposed to and for us adults to be reminded of.

I love this book. With it's beautiful, colorful illustrations and it's sweet story of the friendship between a frog and a peach, it's a real heart warmer. Blue (the frog) helps Peach to 'escape' from her tree before she gets eaten and Peach, in turn, helps Blue to see the world as a more beautiful place. My three year old son loves this book and so do I. It teaches about friendship and to not take things for granted. Even if you don't have children, but love children's books, this one is a keeper!

Peach and Blue is a wonderful story, that I would recommend to everyone. It is also a learning tool about friendship, caring, and appreciating the beauty of nature. This is a story everyone can relate to. The illustrations are as detailed and colorful as Peach's view of the world. Everyone should at one time read Peach and Blue. I guarantee it will change your view of the world. After you read Peach and Blue, you will never look at a rainbow of a sunset the same again.

I am in Kindergarten and my teacher read us this book twice. One of the things I liked about this book is that Peach and Blue became friends in one day. This week our theme is friendship. Peach and Blue are friends because they treated each other so nice. The pictures looked like it really happened. My class loves it so much.

I was introduced to this book 4 years ago at an Indiana State Primetime Meeting. The speaker read the book and I was in awe. It touched my heart. It not only is a children's book, but one of the best adult books I have read in a long time. I have given over 20 copies as gifts. Our principal's wife was dying with cancer, and I gave her a copy. "Nothing is forever, but for now I have you and you have me." What beautiful words. My class gave the book to me one year. I am currently writing a grant to use this for a spin-off for a 4-6 week unit. I would love to make costumes for my K-2 class to perform for the other classes and for a PTO meeting.Thank you Sarah Kilborne!!!!!
