I received an electronic ARC from Publisher Spotlight through NetGalley.
Charming book for younger readers about loneliness and reaching out to find friends. Roland likes living on his own in the woods and has many wonderful experiences there. However, sometimes he gets lonely. On a walk, he finds a new friend and together they have new adventures. Unfortunately, Roland sees posters about a lost friend who looks remarkably like Milton. After some soul searching, he brings Milton/Popkin home. Doing the right thing brought another new friend so that none of them were lonely.
Lovely illustration capture the characters' emotions and moods. An encouraging read when a child is feeling blue or lonely.

With pictures somewhat like the Peter Rabbit pictures, this storybook is one that shows a true story of friendship.

This was an unexpected read about how a young family is affected by the coronavirus pandemic. It was sad, but hopeful, and would be a good way to teach children about how we can all do our part to keep each other safe.

First, I LOVE the illustrations. They are bright and colorful, yet simple and expressive.
Second, this is an adorable book about making new friends through mutual friends. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

At first, only the family is enough, but as children grow up and get to know the world around them, so they start to more and more children and people and start building different relationships. This process is very important for the proper emotional development of children. Making friends, spending time with children of the same age is crucial to developing an emotionally stable personality.

But this process is not always easy and simple. My three-year-old son still does not properly understand even the very notion of friend and friendship. That is why I think that with the right choice of children's book, tailored to the needs of children, we can help our children more easily cope and understand this segment of life.
‘Best Friend in the Whole World’ by Sandra Salsbury is a very sweet and interesting story, which through simple language structures explains the whole concept of friendship in a very simple way. What does it mean to have a friend, what can we do with our friends, should we have only one friend ... are just some of the interesting contents of this endearing picture book. Although in the book you will learn about all this, you can use all the offered situations to talk to your child, to encourage the child to think and express their own opinions and ideas. For example, after reading about the activities of Ronald and Popkin / Milton, my little one said that he and his best friend (who he has yet to find) can drink beer together, as his daddy does with his friends.

Definitely a great choice for all families with children. The beautiful and sweet illustrations are enough to attract and keep the children's attention until the very end, believe me that the kids will not get bored even after a few readings. And the style in which the story is written is completely adapted for the children to be able to understand the story without any problem.

I loved this book it was so sweet and I was so glad that Roland was able to find a friend. The illustrations were whimsical and beautifully highlighted the text.

Thank you NetGalley for the DRC.

When I flipped through the first few pages of this book, I literally uttered, "oh, he's so cute!" This is a charming tale of finding friends. I thought it was just perfectly sweet.
