I Want to Make Friends
from Current Issue: CFLE Network Fall 2012

Book Review: "I Want to Make Friends"

Reviewed by Glen Palm, Ph.D., CFLE

I Want to Make Friends combines a children’s picture book story with a focused parenting manual for guiding social skill development in young children ages 3-6. The story is engaging for the young child and teaches both the child and parent about effective strategies for interacting with peers and forming friendships. It is a good example of a children’s book that addresses both the child and adult audience and their different needs.
