They like to play and climb trees together. Then Tom comes along. Tom shares some interests with one Tim and some with the other. But can all three boys find common ground? David Elliott and Gabriel Alborozo explore the nuances and adjustments required when a pair of friends becomes a group and how opening your heart can reap enormous rewards. A spot-on read-aloud for young children learning to find a place in their world for new friendships. | An oft-told learning journey that all friend groups must navigate; this simple telling may resonate in ways others do not.\u003cbr\u003e—Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElliott presents a pair of best friends, the two Tims, who delight in doing everything together. That is, until Tom comes along...The text’s limited vocabulary and the strong visual cues provided by Alborozo’s loose, sketchy pen and watercolor illustrations make this a good choice for emerging readers. The visual punch line at the end of the book will be familiar to anyone who has experienced the challenges and joys of making new friends while keeping the old. A sweet, simple friendship story that will have wide appeal.\u003cbr\u003e—School Library Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElliot collaborates with Alborozo to produce a charming story that addresses a common problem among inseparable friends...Alborozo’s playful, cartoonish scenes—mixed media illustrations with squiggly ink lines and soft washes of color—are a wonderful complement to Elliot’s simple yet engaging text. Closing on an encouraging note with a clever twist, this makes for a great story time read as well as a delightful educational tool.\u003cbr\u003e—Booklist Online | \u003cb\u003eDavid Elliott\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of many books for children, including the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller \u003ci\u003eAnd Here’s to You!,\u003c\/i\u003e as well as \u003ci\u003eOn the Farm, In the Wild, In the Sea, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eOn the Wing.\u003c\/i\u003e He is also the author of \u003ci\u003eNobody’s Perfect,\u003c\/i\u003e illustrated by Sam Zuppardi.
