Parents often ask for children’s books dealing with a variety of subjects. In the February issue of “School Library Journal,” Joy Fleishhacker has compiled a list of old and new juvenile books on the topic of friendship. These stories, both humorous and semi-serious, are appropriate for younger children just beginning to explore social interactions. All are well-written and vividly illustrated. They deal with friendship between children and animals, as well as children and their peers.
I have annotated the article indicating which of the stories are in our collection and placed a copy on the children’s bulletin board.
