Parties are always fun—unless there is a Party Pooper! Party Poopers love to crash parties. No one wants one but they always show up. They don't like to sing, dance, or even eat cake. They certainly don't like to play games. When a party pooper gets mad, they can destroy your party. What happens when the Party Pooper reflects on his actions? Sincere apologies are in order, and happy times are ahead for everyone. This book would be great for pre-K through third-grade classrooms to launch discussions about making mistakes and learning how to apologize. This book would also be a good selection for supporting SEL units about friendship and community. Students might reflect upon the need to choose activities for everyone to enjoy so that no one is left out. Younger audiences will love the cute panda bear who is the Party Pooper and his dramatic facial expressions. I gave this book a 3 star only because I thought the panda was a little violent for a child. Also, the ending seemed to say he hadn't learned his lesson.… (plus d'informations)

Cute, and I like the message that sometimes you can't succeed without your friends.

This simple story about friendship is between a girl and her cat. They don't like playing the same way but they can still be friends. Cute pictures show the girl enjoying herself and the cat rolling his eyes. Perfect for 'friends' story time with preschoolers.

How can best friends be so different, and yet, so alike? In this children’s book, a little girl discusses- how she and her cat, Mr. Fluffernutter, are best friends. The girl makes a point of letting the reader know that she and Mr. Fluffernutter do everything together, from drawing and chasing butterflies, to having tea parties and dressing up as pirates. However, through his facial expressions, we’re shown that Mr. Fluffernutter doesn’t really enjoy these things at all. Instead, he enjoys watching fish and playing with yarn, things that the little girl finds boring. So one day, she suggests that, “Maybe [they] AREN’T really best friends after all. Maybe [they] would have more fun … alone.” The illustrations then go on to show the two of them sadly playing alone, until they just can’t resist it any longer. The little girl and her cat finally find something they both enjoy doing, even though they do it differently: bath time. The story ends with the two best friends cuddled up together for bed. This story is perfect for a read-aloud with young children. It shows the challenges that friends often go through when they disagree on play-time activities, and it is a perfect example of how friends can resolve problems and find commonalities, no matter how different they are from one another.
