GOOD/VERY GOOD

This classic tiny book's adorable black-and-white illustrations accompany
descriptive text that perfectly expresses the true meaning of friendship.
Here is the book that Romeo would have given Juliet, Charlie Brown would have given Snoopy, and you can give to some very special friend. This special book expresses the true meaning of friendship in a long list of ways with charming accompanying illustrations

This book is tiny in size, but big in feeling. I love the message that it gives for children and adults. It would be a good book to read to a child because it will show that when you like/love someone, it is warts and all and that you should express appreciation for them. And it would be a sweet gift for an adult on valentines day or some other similarly sappy sort of day, because it expresses real emotion instead of the saccharine variety.

I like you because
When I tell you something special,
You know it's special,
And you remember it
A long, long time.
