Friends (Mostly) by Barbara Joosse - NOT RECOMMENDED

Joosse, Barbara Friends (Mostly) illustrated by Tomaso Milian 32 pg. Greenwillow Books, 2010. PICTURE BOOK. $16.99. Ruby and Henry are best friends and do everything together. But when secrets get spilled, will their preschool relationship be able to pull through?
This had potential to be a really cute book, but it failed on all accounts. The writing was confusing and choppy. The dialogue of each character was separated by only a colon making it a hard book to read aloud. The illustrations were confusing as well because at some points the kids looked like giants and it was too busy. Pre-K/EL-(K-3)- NOT RECOMMENDED. Whitney, Library-Teacher.
