Guide Review - Book Review: Making New Friends
This is a great book for children who are moving and face the difficult task of making new friends. With the help of Browny, an empty box that comes to life, TJ discovers an imaginary world that helps him step outside his comfort zone of what was familiar to where he meets new friends and has new adventures.
Teaching a child to believe in themselves and the power of their imagination, this is a book for everyone and is the perfect "out loud" read for any class that has a new student in their midst.
Making New Friends is a great tool for both parents and educators and will be a book that your child will ask for over and over again.
And you know, I think we all need a friend like Browny!
