When Toodles meets Teeny, they hit it off right away and are soon together all the time, to the exclusion of all Toodles’s other friends. Mom’s Choice Award for Children’s Picture Books (Gold)
All Toodles ever wanted was a best friend. So when she meets Teeny…gobble-gobble-gobbleluiah! Toodles found her best pal ever. But what seems like good fortune turns as Streaky, Cathy, and Boo-Boo Bat — and all her other barnyard friends — become mad at her for being buddies with Teeny. What’s a turkey to do? Best friend or good friends? Old friends or new friend?
With humor and playfulness, Toodles and Teeny beautifully illustrates the complexity and importance of friendships in childhood, and that best friends and good friends can all be shared. A Note to Parents includes additional information and strategies for helping kids build and maintain healthy friendships.
