About This Book:

Joining a friend group is not easy
This book had an unusual photographic illustration style with good advice. This is a sweet book about a Bear who would like to join the friendship of Lamb and Koala. This is a book we can all empathize with. It is not easy joining an already-established friend group. Bear tries several over-the-top things that don’t work. It only works out when Bear starts to act naturally. I like the idea of the photographic illustrations using stuffed animals, but not the execution of the specific stuffed animals included in the book. The stuffed animals used look outdated. With so many bright and fresh illustrated books to choose from all vying for attention, this one could easily get lost in the shuffle based on curb appeal. Overall, this is a cute book with a sweet message. Hopefully, more modern-looking stuffed animals will be used in the future by the author.
