Help! A story of friendship By Holly Keller

Help! is about a group of friends including a mouse, hedgehog, rabbit, squirrel and snake. One day Mouse herd a rumor that snakes are dangerous and are especially dangerous to mice. Mouse was so worried that he would run into Snake that he was not paying attention and fell down a hole. All of his friends tried to help him out of the hole but no one was successful; the only friend left to help was snake. In the end, Snake saved Mouse and Mouse apologized for listening to the rumors. This book is unique because it uses the space on pages differently. The pages were divided into section and each section had a different action. Also, some pictures were placed sideways thus, readers have to turn the pages sideways to see the pictures. I feel as though this would be a great book for younger children to learn about friendship. Children usually face the problem of rumors and how to keep friendships so this is a great book to show how to resolve these problems.
