Unlikely Friendships for Kids Review & Giveaway

 

Friendships are vitally important to pretty much everyone, and sometimes we don't realize that friendships come in many forms, sometimes the most unlikely become friends!  What a great way to children about treating everyone equally than through stories and pictures of unlikely duos who become best friends. If these duos can be buddies than anyone can be your friend regardless of any differences.  

Jennifer S. Holland has taken her best-selling book, Unlikely Friendships, which stole the hearts of adults around the world, and created a three book series for children called, Unlikely Friendships for Kids (Workman, 2012). The 3 books in the series are:

Book 1: The Monkey and the Dove

Book 2: The Dog and the Piglet

Book 3: The Leopard and the Cow

Each of these 3 books is published in hardcover and in illustrated chapter book form, perfect for children ages 7+.  Each of these books includes contains 5 true stories about 2 completely different animals who have bonded in the most unexpected ways and teach lessons of compassion, understanding, acceptance and even the natural order of predator vs prey in the wild. The stories are the same stories as in the original book but they are printed with larger print and using shorter sentences that make it easy for young minds and beginning and reluctant readers.

I remember reading the original book for adults, so I loved being able to share the stories with my son. I could tell that he loved every story. We loved that the animals found friends and helped each other out even though they were nothing alike. I am hoping he always remembers those stories and is able to take from them the ability to look at other of God's creatures with an open heart and compassion and acceptance.  I highly recommend these books to all school-aged children, if they can't read them by themselves yet, they make perfect books to read to your younger children--that's what we did and my son LOVED them and so did I.  The stories in the Unlikely Friendships for Kids books give me hope that more and more children can over look difference and become more accepting of others and their hearts more opens to various friendships.
