by Sam McBratney (Author), Jennifer Eachus (Illustrator)
When you have a friend you love the best, playing together is huge fun. But sometimes even the best friends argue...These best friends love to play schools and doctors. Together they look after their toys and put their boots on so that they can splash in puddles. But one day things go wrong, they shout at each other and then they don't speak at all. They are both good and pretending that they don't care about having to play on their own now; but really they care very much indeed. Perhaps if they could just say "I'm sorry" everything would be good again. AGE 3-6
