A Better Best Friend

A feel-good picture book about best friendship told with dry comedy and an open ending―squirrel and mushroom are best friends until another best friend comes to play.This morning when I was out walking, I found a best friend. At least I think so. It certainly looks a lot like it! He really has a best friend kind of face.In this funny picture book exploring a forever childhood question about friendship, squirrel and a mushroom explore the forest through the seasons, show each other special trees, build snow mushrooms, share the good times and bad―which become good bad times alongside a friend.Then spring arrives, and so does a new friend. And then another. This raises a profound question for an overthinking squirrel: should we have just one best friend?"This book is adorable!"―starred, Youth Services Book Review
