'Benz, are we friends'
'Yes, Baz, we are best friends.'
'For how long'
'For ever and ever.'
But what do you do when your best friend is... kind of annoying
A delightfully funny and warm-hearted story about a little owl exploring the boundaries of love and friendship from the creator of I Just Ate My Friend.
'Comforting and reassuring; Heidi McKinnon gets right to the heart of true friendship in this simple, enormously enjoyable story for the very young. The bold, bright illustrations are captivating and the characters with their matching coloured lines immediately endearing.
A book I envisage being demanded over and over.' Red Reading Hub, UK.
