1: Must have!
As a school counselor and then as a therapist, I use this book with all ages, 3-18 to teach the basics of friendship skills. It's simple, basic, practical and the most used friendship book I've owned.
One fun key, is to skip the last page on the first reading.
Then have the kids change the story by changing the words, (i.e. how to make friends.)
Then skip the 2nd to last page and go to the last page, which then changes the the end of the new story pictorially. Even though, they may know what you did (the older kids anyway,) they love the trick.
I tell them they are magic and they changed the story.

2: Great for Aspies!
If you're child has a high-functioning autism or Asperger's I highly recommend this book to help him understand what NOT to do with his peers. It's funny and very tongue-in-cheek.
|
3: Sarcasm not good with young kids
The book was OK but it was written in a sarcastic way which may not always get through to younger kids (age 5 in my case).

4: Good book to explain children about frienship
My son has been being bully at school, he is a very innocent child, he's in the second grade. Since he wants to be like within the circle of children in his classroom, he will do things that can be annoying to others, meanwhile he's doing these things to be cool and be liked. I highly recommend this book, is very age appropiate, he reads the book at all times, and he can also distinguish who is being nice in school and who is not. He has also stopped doing being annoying while thinking he was being COOL.

5: How to Lose All Your Friends
While I "get" that the book portrays the opposite of what you would want for your children, I didn't like the approach as it only discusses how to lose your friends and not how to keep them. I do not recommend this book.
