The adorable Beaver in this story is good at making things. But unfortunately, he seems to struggle with making friends. He decides to build a new friend out of snow, when along comes a little Racoon, who wants to help build a friend too. But after finding the snowman is a bit cold in the friendship area, the two realize that they had so much fun being together that each one has made a new friend after all.
This cute and heartwarming tale about making friends when you least expect it has a wonderful theme for kids who are having troubles with friendships. Beaver and Racoon are building a friendship between themselves naturally which are depicted well by the large and colorful illustrations. You can see it growing while they work and interact with each other. The expressions are joyful and cute with excitement when the two discover they each made a new friend without trying. The story is simple and flows easily to read aloud and might open up conversation about difficulties children might be having meeting friends themselves. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-7.~
