If you're anything like me, the cover image of a children's book is what draws you in.  As I was searching for new books to read to my son, I came across the book "You will be my friend!" by Peter Brown. 

It's a story about Lucy, a young bear, who tries to make friends with several different forest creatures with sometimes disasterous results.  While definitely a children's book, I got a good chuckle out of the silly situations Lucy gets herself into.  The illustrations are great too!

We own a few other titles by Peter Brown, check them out here. 

While San Jose Public Library doesn't own this one, "Children make terrible pets" is another favorite of mine by Peter Brown.  Never fear!  If you want to give it a read, you can always request a copy through our Link+ system!
