Making New
Friends
We live in a highly mobile society. It's perhaps
hardest on the children who are moved from school to school and are repeatedly
faced with the necessity of losing old friends and making new ones every time
the family relocates.
I wish this
book had been available when I was in the Air Force and was moving my 4 young
children from one Air Force base to another.
For ages 4-10 - Hardcover 10 1/4 x 8 1/2" - 29 pages

Making New Friends is the story of a young boy named TJ who has just moved into a new residence with his family and is hesitant about going out to meet the kids in his new neighborhood. Then while playing with one of the boxes that his family's possessions had been moved in, TJ is surprised with it comes to life and starts to talk to him. Browny helps TJ to develop the self-confidence to make new friends, and TJ comes to realize that is okay to miss his old friends--and to remember the good times they shared. Recommended for both school and community library picture book collections, Making New Friends is brilliantly co-authored by Jacqueline Blumenstock and David Pools at a third grade reading level, while Colleen Madden's gentle illustrations are thoroughly age appropriate for young readers ages 4 to 10. |

"This isn't much fun without the guys," TJ
thought as he crawled out of the box and turned it right-side up again.
He started back toward his window. "You need friends to really have fun
playing anything." "I'll be your friend," said a voice from inside the room. TJ jumped. "W...W...Who said that?" he asked as he looked around the room. |
