I loved this book! I thought it was a really cute and different spin on an informational book. It provided information for readers to try out in order to be a good friend. The book provided facts about friendships, these facts which are important for readers to be aware of while forming friendships. For example, the book starts by saying, "Me Myself and I: There are times when it feels good to be by yourself, enjoying your own company" (Pg 1). I believe that the way this was written is very beneficial to readers. In a sense, it gives them a guideline to take into consideration when being social with peers. I also liked how the author chose to use illustrations and labelled/ captioned these illustrations - similarly to a comic strip. Through the exchange of information, readers are able to stay engaged and are able to put themselves in the characters' shoes. I also really love how the book pushes readers to think about changes they can make to be the best friend that they can. The main idea or message is that, friendships are not easy, but through effort and being understanding of those close to you, you cannot fail as a friend.

Illustrations and text come together to form this children book about being a good friend to others. The book includes ways that the readers can treat others fairly, be a good friend, how to handle bullies, how to not be a good friend, and how to settle arguments. It also had multiple illustrations of situations that students could find themselves in on a daily basis. This informational book could be used in a classroom for students to refer to when they are in a situation with another person, and they are unsure how to handle it. Many bully situations arise in school, because students are unsure about how to handle the situations presented to them. A resource in a classroom that allows students to go to when they are in a sticky situation would promote dialogue and stop a bad situation from becoming worse.
