The Orlando Sentinel deemed the album "an all-ages delight." [7] The Salt Lake Tribune called it "quirky, brash and wistful." [8] With fun and lively illustrations from Sarah Jennings, this book is both humorous and charming, and prompts children to discuss the idea of friendship with parents and peers. I’m confident that if life were a fairytale, and I were a princess, you’d be the one my prince would choose. You’re da bomb! I want to be your best friend but also many other things. Can we meet for coffee sometime? You are the best friend a girl could ask for! We have been through so much together and I can never thank you enough. You are more than a sister to me and I will never be able to repay you for all that you have done. I cherish my friendship with you more than anything else in the world. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly!

Will You Be My Friend? by Sam McBratney, Anita Jeram Will You Be My Friend? by Sam McBratney, Anita Jeram

I know its been awhile since we’ve talked, and I don’t expect you to forgive me for the things I’ve done. All I can do is apologize and move on from there. We were friends once, and we could be friends again. I don’t know if friendship is possible after everything that’s happened but at least we could try. I miss you so much and I really hope that we could talk again soon. I will not only love you for a day, I will love you for all the tomorrows. You’re the best man or woman in the world and I don’t care what anyone else thinks. You make me feel special and happy, loved and protected. You always know how to cheer me up and make everything okay. You’re a good friend, and I’ve got nothing but time. You know that. So if you ever need to talk, or if you just want someone to hang out with, you can count on me. Can I just say that I absolutely LOVED the ending? It was just the perfect way to end it. I was a tad worried it would go in a certain direction (one we already often see in picture books), but thankfully the author decided to go the unconventional way and I was just clapping my hands and grinning madly.

I hope you know that I see you as a very special friend. Thanks for being there for me when I need someone to talk to. You always know just what to say and I appreciate that. I hope we can spend many more years being best friends like we are now. With fun and lively illustrations from Sarah Jennings, this book is both humorous and charming, and prompts children to discuss the idea of friendship with parents and peers. Learning to build and maintain friendships also helps children with important life skills such as sharing, negotiating, empathising and that all-important apology when things go wrong. James Kavanaugh is America's poet laureate. His words and ideas touch my soul. I can think of no living person who can put into words what we have all felt so deeply in our inner selves."
