Bloom, S.
(2005). A splendid friend, indeed. Honesdale, PA: Boyds Mills Press.
Beautiful pictures with contrasting blues and whites focuses
solely on the only two characters that bring this book to life. This depicts a
beautiful, realistic tale about
friendship. So who says friends are perfect? Who says you’re supposed to always
be happy around your friends? Who says friends are not annoying? Who says friendships are always perfect? Well friendships
aren’t perfect. There is no friend alike, but despite these differences true
friends appreciate the good and the bad. Splendid friends love each other
despite the imperfections of one another. True friends are indeed, splendid.
This reminded me of my children and their friendship with each other. My oldest is nine and my youngest is 5 and naturally, the little one is always trying to please his older brother. "Nathan, I like your hair." And just as Nathan might respond with a, "Thanks Logan, I like your hair, too." He can also respond with, "Shhh Logan, I can't hear the tv." Despite of Nathan's answer, whether he's flattered, or annoyed, at the end of the day, they're each other's splendid friend, indeed.
