Friends: Making Them \u0026 Keeping Them (American Girl) Reviews
-
I wish that these books weren’t so dependent on a school environment.
-
It has good advice on making friends and keeping them. It is a nice book and tells you good ways to be a good friend.
-
I started reading this book kinda as a joke, because I’m much older than the target demographic, but I found it in my room and realized I never read it- so why not?
It’s an easy book to read, and has lots of good advice without being overwhelming- it’s perfect for the young readers it’s aimed at.
Though I knew most of the things this book talked about, I’m glad I read it anyways, and I actually wish I read it sooner. It’s hard to make friends, even when you’re an adult in college. And these simple reminders help keep friendships less of a mystery.
I’ll definitely be giving this book to my little sisters so they can be better prepared for their future friendships :) -
This is cute. My daughter liked it a lot and I think we can save it as a reference to come back to over the years.
-
This book genuinely changed my life back in 4th/5th grade. I’d absolutely recommend it to any young girl, any kid, really. I still think about it to this day (I’m currently a junior) and I honestly can’t believe how much this stupid little American girl doll book changed how I approached social situations, gave me so much confidence, and helped me navigate middle school. I’d have to reread it to accurately tell you what I think of it now, but I know back then it felt earth-shattering in the best way!
-
This book is great! Has lot of tips on starting friendships, although I do wish it was a little longer. I started reading it, and when I was just getting into it, I was finished with the book. It has some really good stories that made me feel good.
-
Lots of great conversation starters as well as advice!!
-
Had lots of great advice! I even played the game with my new friend!
-
This fun book is filled with short tidbits, quizzes, posters and true stories about how girls make new friends and have fun with the friends they already have. It's full of bright colors, modern multicultural illustrations, and fun posters. Its messages are upbeat but honest and helpful. It is not a heavy-handed book, but a great place for starting conversations.
"Having friends who understand and appreciate you for who you are is what it's all about - finding friends who are really right for you." (p. 3)
What an excellent message, just the one I want to help my daughters learn and think about. And this is a format they'll enjoy - much better than hearing Mom ask questions or tell them what to do! -
this bbok is super ultra mega interesting!
-
Good little book for elementary aged girls (grades 2-5) about friends. Includes some tips that even Moms can benefit from (e.g., the different types of friends).
-
Good book about friendship...
-

-
This has fun things to do for sleepovers and with friends

If you are looking for a comprehensive, straightforward manual on how to make and keep friends, this is the book for you. The author expertly covers the skills needed to master the confusing ups and downs of friendship. While the skills described may seem daunting, the book conveys that the benefits of friendship can be well worth the effort. Some of the topics covered include conversation starters, listening tips, fighting fair, and trying too hard. The book includes quizzes and activities, as well as advice. I highly encourage the reader to take the time to experience all that this exceptional book can offer.
