Editorial Review
A Review of "That’s What Friends Are For" in School Library Journal
Gr 1-3–In this warmhearted beginning reader, best buddies Tugg, a lovable gorilla, and Teeny, an eager monkey, help a sad hippo find her self-esteem, a rhinoceros locate his missing horn, and avoid making their friends angry when Teeny leaves wet, violet-colored paint on the picnic-table bench prior to a neighborhood party. The lively illustrations are saturated with color and surrounded by abundant white space.
