Description

When Lawrence makes a new friend, Sophia feels left out . . . and then acts out. It's a scenario that so many kids can relate to, told here with loads of laughs and charm.

Lawrence and Sophia do everything as a pair. Together, they are big and bold and fast (sort of). But then one day, another kid appears--and Lawrence is excited about new adventures with this new friend. Sophia . . . is not. And she misses Lawrence while he's bike-riding and shipbuilding with the other boy. Well, Sophia can build something too! She doesn't need Lawrence to be big and bold, does she?

As they did in their first book about this lovable duo, acclaimed creators Doreen Cronin and Brian Cronin share universal truths of childhood with a perfect mix of humor and warmth. Friendship triangles have never been so endearing.

Critical Reviews

"The text wisely softens the experience with inclusive gestures--rather than adverse reactions--from Sydney and Lawrence. The book subtly and humorously encourages children to open up their friendship circles while acknowledging how daunting that might seem. Funny and wise." --Kirkus
