Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
A Friend Is--
Mark A. Taylor · 1987
64/100
👎 Skip It
A sweet 31-page 1987 Christian friendship book — brother and sister on the joys of friendship with Bible verses woven through, from Standard Publishing's I'm Growing Up series. Nothing wrong with the book; everything wrong with the market: two findable copies online, at $17 used and $116 new-old-stock. That's collector pricing for a slim devotional a church library shelf does for free. Lovely if you inherit one; skip it as a purchase.
