Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Kids' Book of Friends.
Stephenson · 2024
64/100
👎 Skip It
Co-written with a child psychologist and built around concrete 'friend moves' kids can actually practice, with interactive pages to back it up — this one has real substance behind the pitch. I still can't point to independent reviews confirming it delivers with real kids, so it's a hopeful maybe rather than a confirmed yes.
