As always, thank you for your recommendations and great taste in books. There’s nothing like a friend that loves to read!
I can’t imagine not loving reading. There are so many wonderful books being published that I’m sure that there’s a book out there for even the most reluctant reader 🙂
Nice list Catherine. Sick Day for Mr. McGee is a classic of course, but we loved the others as well. During summer we pored over the Elephant and Piggie series and I can’t help but recommend these addition to the list. They are absolutely wonderful and have a strong theme of friendship to them. Thanks for sharing on Kid Lit Blog Hop!

A lovely list. Lost and Found is definitely one of my favourites!
I’d also recommend Duck and Goose.
Thank you, I don’t know Duck and Goose, they look really cute 🙂
Some lovely books here that I have not heard of before. Maisy was a favourite of my eldest girl though.
I just found your blog via Mummy’s little monkeys.
What a fun list! I didn’t even know it was international friendship day, so thanks for the heads-up! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this review. I found you at the Kid Lit Blog Hop. I also host a weekly link-up on Thursdays for all things book related at my site, mommynificent.com. I’d love for you to join us anytime!
Have a magnificent week!

Thank you for visiting Story Snug Tina. I would definitely like to link up to your blog hop 🙂
Great idea! We can’t do enough to thank our friends for accepting us as we are. Thanks for linking into the Kid Lit blog hop!
There are so many lovely picture books about friendship that it was hard to choose what to include.
Wow, I think not a lot of people value international friendship day. Everyday should be friendship day. These books might help readers understand its true meaning. I thank my friends for being there every step of the way. Thank you for the great list!
It’s never too early to introduce children to the beauty of friendship. Thank you for visiting Story Snug 🙂
