New York Times–Bestselling Authors: “Friends come in all shapes, but these four just may be the sweetest.” —Kirkus Reviews
Friends shape who we are. They make us laugh. They fill us with fun. They stand by us during life’s up and downs. And even when we disagree with our friends, if they’re tried-and-true, they don’t stay bent out of shape for long. That’s the beauty of a good buddy. This joyous book rejoices in the simple beauties of friendship, and reminds readers of all ages that it’s good to have a group of pals.
“A winning introduction to simple shapes and colors as well as a pleasing choice for children who will relate to the emotions and appreciate the visual puns.” —School Library Journal
“Playful and pleasant . . . Sure to be a hit.” —Booklist
