An excellent resource for any young child - particulary for ASD
My 6 year old son is autistic and in mainstream school. He loved this book and has learnt a great deal from it - it's a bit like an indepth social story. I think this book should be available to all primary 1 children as it covers so many issues regarding making friends and what to say to friends and how to know if someone is your friend. Fantastic book!

Very helpful for children starting school for the first time
My first born child is starting school for the first time in a few weeks and I found the language and illustrations used within this book explicit and easy to understand; my child enjoyed reading about making new friends too, and I hope this will help her when she starts her new school soon. Would recommend to anyone who has a child starting school or whose child is shy or has trouble getting along with other children.

The best book in the series
If you wanting to buy one book in the series, this is the best. The No Hitting book is complete rubbish, but this book has useful ideas and techniques. It is not aimed at children who have more serious issues, but for a normal child who doesn't always interact well with other children, it it fine.

Forgotten Friends
After a long holiday my son found that his nursery friends had found new friends and he reacted by doing a lot of shouting. After reading this book he had a better understanding of the different ways that you can be a friend and how to act when you feel left out. We were able to talk about the situations in the pictures - he was a bit disappointed that there wasn't much of a story - and relate them to what he was going through at nursery. We've had positive comments from the staff who've observed him helping other children who feel left out and he's now friends with the new children too.

Preparing for school
An excellent book to share. Colourful pictures & simple text. Lots of opportunity to ask questions of my 4 year old as to how she thinks a friend should act & why. She will be going to primary school in 5 months & this book has enabled me to explore how she may feel if someone does not act like a friend, the importance of sharing, listening & a number of other useful skills that will help with her next big life event!! My one criticism would be the inevitable use of some American terminology but it is easy to replace. A lovely book!
