Publisher Comments

Today is the day the exuberant Lucy is going to make a new friend But she finds it's harder than she had thought — she accidentally ruins the giraffe's breakfast and is much too big for the frogs' pond. Just when she's about to give up, an unexpected friend finds her, and loves her just the way she is.

This heartwarming story offers a unique and humor-filled spin on the all-important themes of persistence and friendship.

Review

"Splendid artwork...I click with this book. Brown has pushed his style past its smoother beginnings....Who knows how he does it, really? The appeal of You Will Be My Friend! is as deep a mystery as friendship, but I'm not interested in delving into its mysteries. I just want to take it to lunch." Reviewed by Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) for The New York Times Book Review

Review

"Charming...this title eschews the cute." Kirkus Reviews

Review

"The mixed-media art, featuring woodsy cartoon backgrounds, and the omniscient narration combine to make this an even funnier follow-up to Children Make Terrible Pets (2010)."Booklist

Christina Hill , January 01, 2013 (view all comments by Christina Hill)
This sequel to Peter Brown's Children Make Terrible Pets is the best sequel I've ever read. In the first book, Lucy Bear is a believably loud and charming little bear who's giant pink speech bubbles speak louder than mere words. The brilliance of You Will Be My Friend! is that unlike the quaint story where she originally appeared, the new book has a poignant message: be yourself. Sure, there are many books with that message for this age group (3+), but it's so simple and funny in this one. My 3 year old daughter likes You Will Be My Friend! so much that she's taken it to preschool to share at story time. As a parent, this is a book I've literally read at least 25 times and I'm still not ready to hide it under the couch. I could go for 26. It's that good.
