Customer Reviews

cute

this book is about two friends that are opposites. pearl barley is really up beat and energetic and charlie parsley is inroverted and calm. after showing how different they are, the book asks how they could possibly be friends. well as it turns out pearl's energetic nature cheers charlie up when he's down and charlie' practial nature helps pearl out, at one point he puts mittens on her hands when she's cold. it's a good book about how opposites can attract and how you don't have to be the same as someone to be their friend. the pictures are colourful and very expressive.

A book with an beautiful message

My daughers love the two characters in this story and I love the subtle message about being friends no matter our differences. Sweet!
