HLC: My kids (4,8) and I have really been enjoying William Steig books recently. This one is a favorite, and I’ll be gifting it to friends and families for sure. A true friend is always there when you need them, and this story strums that chord perfectly.

Mary Lee T Aldrich: This is a book I frequently give as a baby present. It has a wonderful theme...that people who are different from each other in many ways can still be friends.

M. Vangor: I went searching for this book. It was always a great one for my classroom. Now, I plan to give them as gifts this holiday season. In the classroom - I used this book to introduce vocabulary that students would come across - sailing terms, and much, much more.

The story too is well laid out. LOVE AND RECOMMEND to all. As far as age...You can read to young children, but the grade levels would be 3rd to 5th depending on what you want to cover.

Roni L.: I've always liked reading "The Amazing Bone" and "Dr. DeSoto" to my kids, and had this book in my cart for about 2 years. I finally pulled the trigger on buying it on a whim one day, and I think this is my favorite William Steig book. It's so funny and unassuming and sweet. Truly embodies the beauty of friendship, and just an awesome little story.
