Im Sorry
When you have a friend you love the best, playing together is huge fun. But sometimes even the best friends argue? These best friends love to play schools and doctors. Together they look after their toys and put their boots on so that they can splash in puddles. But one day things go wrong, they shout at each other and then they don't speak at all. They are both good and pretending that they don't care about having to play on their own now; but really they care very much indeed. Perhaps if they could just say "I'm sorry" everything would be good again.AGE 3-6

This lovely book describes the beautiful friendship shared by a little boy and girl. It describes how they play with each other and the different activities they enjoy. However like most things in life this is not to last and results in them having a fight. Each one tells us how they feel and how difficult it is for them to say I’m Sorry. The pictures are exquisitely drawn.

خیلی خوب شروع کرد و موضوع رو برای بچه ها باز کرد، ولی آخرش خیلی سریع تموم شد!
مخصوصا برای خواهرزاده های من که دختر و پسر هستن حس همدات پنداری ایجاد کرد ولی پایانش میتونست بهتر باشه

The illustrations in this book are so lifelike they attract your eye and this will help make the children want to look at the book. The story is very sweet that these 2 friends have so much fun together and cooperate with each other and do what each other wants. Then the friends say mean things to each other and hurt each other's feelings which is something that happens with children and their friends. The great thing is that the children don't stay mad at each other for long they say sorry to each other and hug and they are better.

Two best friends that love each other have a fight and shout at each other. Both children are upset about what happened but even more so that the other does not want to play. In the end, one sentence makes a difference. "I'm sorry."

Two best friends enjoy doing everything together, but one day they have an argument. They need to say sorry to each other. The child who is narrating models thinking about their friends feelings in the situation. I felt like it ended a little abruptly, I would’ve like a more solids conclusion.

A good story to share one-on-one with children about repairing friendships.

This is a great book for children. I love how it teaches children at times it may be hard to apologize but it’s the right thing to do.

A young boy and girl are best friends. They play with each other every day. And they always laugh and have fun but one day they shout at each other...can they still be friends?
The subtle rhythm of the text makes this a great choice for a read aloud. The colors and illustrations correspond with the overall tone of the book. Children will be able to relate to the emotions and feelings of shouting/arguing with a friend.

This is a wonderful book that increase children social and emotional skills. Children become more aware of other peoples feelings. This book emphasizes the importance of being considerate to those within our environment and community. It shows that friends can also argue but when this occurs sorry is a good way to defuse the situation. Teachers can also explain the importance of finding a solution so it doesn't happen again.

Beautiful book with soft illustrations tells the story of two friends who enjoy spending time together until something goes wrong. This book is warm, sad, comforting and expresses so much emotion little ones feel when growing up, that sometimes leaves then feeling bewildered and upset. This would be a great book to share with kids pre-K to 2nd. Highly recommended.
