Got this for my 5yr old grandson as part of his valintines gift ( better than choclate) lol. I just read it and its adorable with a lesson on behavior. His name is Hunter so that was an extra bonus. Good book with nice illustration.
perfect friendship and being your best self book. my daughter was having a hard time in pre-school standing up for herself and being her "best" self. She was following others when they weren't being their best selves--this deals clearly and perfectly with this issue. Gave a copy to her teachers and they loved it too.
This book is about a little raccoon at school. His name is Hunter, and he has a friend named Stripe. They are best friends until one day something happened. What do you think happened? Well I can't tell you because you have to get the book.I LOVE THIS BOOK because it is the best reading book for silent reading. And it might take over some of reading time. Since it has 27 pages but it only takes about 10 minutes to read it. So I like the book it might not sound good to you, but it is good. Try to read it. It is unforgettable!
Our grand-daughter was having some "friend" trouble in Grade 1 and this story helped to support her parents in teaching her to do the right thing and often your friends will follow you instead of you following them. A good moral in an entertaining story.
I ordered this book because my son's name is Hunter so I knew he would love that. The book teaches that you can't always go along with your friends and how your behavior influences others. This book is geared towards younger kids (ages 4 and up) but is a great lesson book for children of all ages.
As an educator of young children for over twenty-five years, I find Hunter's Best Friend at School by Laura Elliott to be one of the best books I have ever read, dealing with being true to one's self. All children want to be liked and often do things that they would not otherwise do, just to be accepted. Hunter and Stripe are such friends, yet with the help of his mother and his teacher, Hunter is able to set an example that encourages Stripe to be "his best self." This book is absolutely delightful and entertaining. The words, the illustrations, the message of being true to oneself is certainly needed in today's world. I read it to a Kindergarten class that was spellbound by the second page. The school librarian is going to order one copy for each of the primary classes at our school. My own grandsons, age five and seven, were touched by Hunter's example, with the five-year-old saying, "my eyes are getting wet from hearing that story" and the seven-year-old saying, "I have that problem with my friend." Out of the mouth of babes is a telling review of this wonderful book and I would encourage every parent and grandparent to include it in their children's library as soon as possible.
Yesterday my daughter in kindergarten just had an incident in which she mimicked the bad behavior of her friend and got into enough trouble she was sent to the principal's office! In kindergarten! I am the guest reader tomorrow morning in her class, and I wish, I wish I had my hands on this book to read in the morning!! Oh well, I'll read it to her at home when it comes in.
I really enjoy this book and think it makes some very great points! I picked this book up at the library just the other day and was very impressed with it. It does a great job of teaching about influences and that you don't always have to follow, sometime you can lead. Help your friend be his best self". The illustrations are also great!
