Do You Want to Be My Friend?

“Do you want to be my friend?” asks a little mouse of a horse, a peacock, an alligator and various other animals. Only when he meets another little mouse is the answer, unequivocally, “Yes!” A charming and classic story with a heartwarming conclusion, full of Eric Carle’s unmistakable collage artwork.

“Each page of this ingenious, all but wordless picture book affords surprise, suspense, and repeated pleasure for the viewer.” Booklist
