The Friendship of the Turtle and the Frog

The message — cross-difference friendship built on mutual respect — is exactly right for the age group, and the author's background as an elementary school teacher gives the writing a child-aware instinct. But this is self-published with no editorial oversight and no professional review record to speak of, and the dossier suggests the text is almost entirely message-delivery with very little plot. There are stronger books covering the same ground with more story behind them.
