This book includes a collection of poems about friendship from numerous famous authors such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Langston Hughes. These poems address the many aspects of friendships. Some of the poems are about wrestling, sleepovers, telephone calls and sledding. This book also includes poems about the feelings individuals have when their friends move away or begin to change. For example this book discusses how some individuals have feelings of loneliness, how they miss their friends, and how they notice that their friends have begun to change as they get older. Although people go through changes, this book shows that it is normal to have all these feelings within a friendship.
All in all, this book includes many poems about friendship that all children can relate too. While reading these poems it made me think about my own childhood friends. Personally, I believe this book would be a great addition to the classroom library.
