25. We Are best Friends

We are Best Friends by Aliki
Two best friends are separated by a move. They eventually make new friendships while still keeping in touch with each other.

Mom's Review: It's kind of odd that we chose to read this book tonight since just this afternoon Abby was worrying about keeping in touch with her friends when we move (at least 2 years down the road!)It's a very practical, easily understood story. In this age of Facebook and email, the idea of writing letters to each other is quite unlikely, but the concept is the same. Keep in touch with each other and you can maintain your friendship. As an aside, I often wonder how Abby's world will be different from the one I grew up in. Odds are she won't really disconnect from friends since Facebook is alive and well. I'm sure at some point, Facebook will have evolved into something else, but I wonder what the dynamics will be like.

Daughter's Review: I liked it because it had pretty pictures.
