From the creator of the all-time classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar comes a sweetly resonant story about the power of friendship. When a best friend moves away, it can be painful for the child who is left behind but the spunky boy in this upbeat story makes up his mind to find his missing playmate. Friends tells a story with love and perseverance, brightened with vibrant art and Eric Carle's trademark fostering of imagination.
