Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
I Love My Friends
Joy Berry · 2019
60/100
👎 Skip It
Joy Berry has built a genuinely trusted catalog (85 million-plus copies sold) teaching kids social skills, and this sturdy board book delivers simple, solid lessons about sharing and apologizing for toddlers. It's dependable rather than special, and a publication-date mismatch in the sourcing kept me from being fully certain about this edition.
