  • Nice message here, it’s not just about friendship, but also about learning to admit when you’re wrong so that friendship can grow. The story is warm and meaningful, and the illustrations are absolutely beautiful! Every little detail, like the animals and the scenery, is drawn with so much care. You’ll want to look at it over and over.

  • This day feels like a true celebration for me and my grandchildren. A wonderful children’s book has just been released, filled with kindness, gentle humour and love for the world around us. And the illustrations! A real firework display of color, charm and imagination! You can’t stop looking at them. Bravo to the creators for bringing so much light and joy. It’s a genuine delight for readers and a rare opportunity to show our little ones a world ruled by love and friendship, where attention, respect and care truly matter. A world that is cheerful, beautiful and warmly delicious. Thanks to the authors for this joy!

  • Refreshing! During 10 years of motherhood we went through quite a lot of children’s books. Friendly’s stands out for a few reasons. Catchy rhymes, subtle humor appealing to both kids and grownups, beautiful illustrations. But a winning moment for us was a demand to try new foods from my very picky and conservative child who lives on plain pasta! Highly recommend it!

  • Such a wonderful book! A kind, funny, and meaningful story. The illustrations are gorgeous, you can look at them over and over again and always find something new. There are so many animals you can spot on each page. Pretty cool! It can easily become one of the kids’ favourite books!
