Calef Brown has written and illustrated 18 poems on all types of friendship – some silly, some clever.  Each are first-person poems but illustrated as people, animals, or aliens.  The poems are cheerful and upbeat and point out the qualities that make one person appreciate another.  “I cackle and you chortle.  Together we chorkle.”  ” Noticing things about me, especially, seems to be your specialty.”  “… then my heart twinkles.”  The colorful acrylic illustrations are a great match for the some silly, some clever poems.  This is a fun collection to read to or with a friend.
