Personal Rating- 5

This is a great book about friendship. The characters in this story are very loyal to each other and it just demonstrates how to be a good friend and what individuals should expect from loyal friends. Also, this book would be an excellent book to use in the classroom as a read aloud. The book includes many words that would make for good vocabulary words.
