Here’s a list I made:
- Peanut butter and jelly
- Milk and cookies
- Chicken and waffles
- Cheese and crackers
- Peas and carrots
What kind of a list is this? No, it’s not my grocery list! All of these foods are tasty on their own but when you put them together, their differences make them extra special.
What else works well alone but is even better together? You and your friends! You might not look like each other, you might like different things, but when you’re together, awesome things are bound to happen. Not convinced? Then take a look at some winning friend combinations.
Andy & Sandy's Anything Adventure: Andy and Sandy see each other on the playground. Andy likes things Sandy likes. Sandy likes things Andy likes. So, what’s the problem? They're strangers! Find out what happens next by checking out the first book in this new series by Tomie DePaola.
Ballet Cat: Ballet Cat loves ballet and Ballet Cat loves Sparkles the Pony, but Sparkles has a secret. A totally secret secret. When Ballet Cat finds out what it is, will she and Sparkles still be friends? This dynamic duo were featured on CPL’s Best Fiction for Younger Readers of 2015.
Monkey & Robot: Monkey is afraid of spooky movies, not sure he likes board games, doesn’t know where butterflies come from and loves a game called hide-and-shriek. Robot loves spooky movies and board games, knows butterflies grow in cocoons and is pretty sure Monkey means hide-and-seek. Can Monkey and Robot still be friends? You bet!
No list of winning friend combinations is complete without the classic dynamic duos of Frog and Toad, George and Martha and Elephant and Piggie. If you haven't met them yet, I hope you'll make friends soon! My favorites to start with are: Frog and Toad Are Friends, George and Martha and My Friend Is Sad.
Which famous friends are you and your friends most like?
