Chester and Wilson share the same exact way of doing things, until Lilly moves into the neighborhood and shows them that new ways can be just as good.

This is a beautiful story about friendship. Friendships of long standing and new ones just beginning. While most of the Henkes mouse characters that we have come to love are little girls this one has two delightful boys in Winston and Chester as well as Lilly. This would be a great early reader for any child.

Recommended by Memoria Press Junior Kindergarten and while this one is a larger picture book size as opposed to the smaller early readers (Penny chapter books) it is a great addition to our shelf. Making friends is a valuable skill and it is so important to teach our kids that while they may be comfortable in a friendship bond it will only be more fun with more additions.

I am really finding myself a fan of Kevin Henkes.

Thanks to HC.
