My Review

Such a lovely book! Bear and squirrel are learning about friendship; its ups and downs, and how even when things go wrong, we can work it out if we decide to stick together. I love the way this story celebrates unconditional love and sticking with someone no matter what - it has so much to teach kids about friendship - and adults too! For those with younger children, it's also available in board book format - but the illustrations are so fab that I like them big!

Heads Up!

'I'm Sticking with You Too' is the sequel to this first book - a chicken wants to join squirrel and bear but they don't want anything to spoil their friendship...until they realise three can work just as well as two! It's a great story about being inclusive.

Publisher Review

Wherever you're going, I'm going too. Whatever you're doing, I'm sticking with you. It's wonderful to have good friends to see you through the good times and the bad. But sometimes, friends can also be a bit . . . well . . . overbearing. This completely irresistible rhyming text by Smriti Halls is perfectly complemented by artwork from fantastic new picture book illustrator, Steve Small.
