By: Adam Relf Language: English A heart-warming picture book that has a wonderful message for young children about making friends. When Fox’s mummy tells him to go off and ‘make’ some friends, he takes her at her word. He rushes off excitedly to make a friend out of sticks, an apple and some nuts. But he’s rather disappointed in this new stick friend, so he enlists the help of a passing rabbit, then a squirrel. Working as a team, they do their best to help Fox make bigger and better friends, but none of these inanimate objects turn out to be great playmates. Mum finds Fox feeling sad and disappointed but soon points out to him that he has made friends – his new best buddies Squirrel and Rabbit are standing right beside him!
By: Shel Silverstein Language: English 'Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy.' Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.
