Friends

 By Eric Carle

I was particularly interested in this book after I read the article about it.  It was a pretty disappointing read.

I liked how it started, with the kids doing everything together.  I liked how it was a boy and a girl.

 When the girl goes away the boy goes to find her and goes on an imaginary journey, which is fine.  Lots of pages of just colour.  Nice to look at.

And then this.  They get married at the end, out of nowhere.  Why?

I read it myself, but I didn't read it to my kids.
